     I don't know why you responded in the negative.  The *default* exit
policy, which is to say, the exit policy in effect when no exit policy
is specified in torrc, does block TCP port 25 (smtp).  It is the smtps
port that is no longer blocked by default.
     However, there is often a number of routers that do have exit policies
allowing exits to port 25, so sometimes connection attempts for port 25
will work.
