Hi, you are right, SMTP is blocked by default. But people can i.e. access hotmail.com via webinterface (where your IP is then put into the mail as originating IP aswell) or use SMTP on secure ports (but that mostly comes with authentication, I guess).
You should ask your provider to get the mail headers of the spam, to see how exactly it was done, and then maybe block i.e. exit to the hotmail IPs, if it was sent via hotmail webinterface (to show them you are doing something).
