Unfortunately, quite a lot seem to do it. it's a lazy and lame "solution"
to spam trojans. Other ISPs forward all port 25 connections to their own
SMTP server, so your mail may not be delivered directly, but it is
delivered.
Having run a mail server from home, that's not the only problem to worry
about any more - many ISPs/Mail Hosts now maintain (black)lists of IPs
belonging to ADSL/Dial up Services (i.e. dynamically assigned IPs) which
they'll refuse to accept e-mail from.
So, if your ISP doesn't block traffic, you'll end up being caught out by
that aswell! :(

"This is what's wrong with the media," I said. "You show a
fringe position. You show one point of view. You're closing the
minds of the people by not showing them what the reality is." I
got up and walked out, and I've never been asked back again."
"About a year ago I was a guest on a network news show in New
York. They were showing film clips from a gay pride parade down
Fifth Avenue, but they only decided to show the part with men in
dresses and heels. I had seen the parade, and there were men in
business suits as well. After showing the film, the newsperson
made some comments, and I found the comments extremely
offensive."
