No, I do not close port 25. It is open because it is an MX host and other servers can talk to it. Besides what Paul so nicely explained already, the specific setup with the MSA allows me to bypass the greet_pause feature and the milters as being an authenticated relayer. I don't need the virus checking and spam-tagging for mails leaving my server by authed senders.
