This is a user education issue, and in part one perpetuated by the
'ease' of spamcop's reporting tools. Which drove me nuts when I worked
at an ISP.

Neither of your examples would be impacted by port 25 blocking, except
that the ISP would need to pass the complaints on to the end user.

Previous communications from Xtra have also indicated there will be a
way to opt out of this filtering, for those people who do run their own
mailservers.

And hey: If you really don't like it, you could always change ISPs.
Although I'd wager more over time will implement this.
