AOL used to do that; I don't know if they still do or not.

If you do it, be sure to let your clients know you did it.  We're in the 
hosting business and we really don't like getting all those 
troubleshooting calls from clients who have no idea their outgoing 
email isn't going through us; they think it is.

We've tried to educate them to use port 587, but most of them have no 
idea what email program they use, no less where to make the change.
