You shouldn't worry about that as long as you a patched up. If you have no
need to receive email from the outside you can block it but you need to
have it unblocked for outgoing.
Amazon only restricts you if you have more than one IP. Doesn't sound like
that's an issue. If you are running cpanel
Who is your host? IF its amazon they have to unblock port 25 for sending if
you have more than one IP address. You might want to make sure they don't
have any restrictions on you. And...if they do they should have procedures
for getting them lifted.

i asked this question as i saw requests coming in from unknown hosts that
i know are not aware of my domain (since mine is very new). That's when i
was thinking why not block 25 and asked this question :)
