IMO, a sending MTA should never have its smtp port closed unless it is an end-user.



Once again, a sending server does not have to be a MX. Something within that domain should be listening on port 25, but not always the machine which is connecting to yours. Look at the hostname of my machine in the headers. You will see it has rDNS and fDNS, but is not a MX for the domain.


I think that was a typo, since the criteria he gave say "the domain has an MX that..." and not "the MTA is an MX that..." Basically, just edit "sending MTA" to "MX for the sender's domain" and I think we're good. :-)
