None of these as an individual issue is going to risk your internet
connection.
And noting that full-headers are supplied via spamcop, any system with any
value involved in tracking down spam offenses is going to copy abuse@xtra
(if theyre youre ISP) anyway, as complaints directly to the source of a
spam are rarely useful... !

Aka, The move to block port 25 is not really causing any more risk to you
at all.

I agree with AJ; its already accepted as standard practise in other parts
of the world and has been in place for more than 5 years in some cases.
More ISPs need to do it.

Mark.
