Shouldn't we open port 587 (MSA - mail submission agent) on sendar for
this purpose?

This port is equivalent to 25, apart that it is intended for initial
mail submission, rather than for MTA-to-MTA communication.

Connections to MSA are supported to be authenticated (SMTP AUTH), and
this should be enough to prevent any spam problems using this port.

ISPs are thus supposed not to inferfere with 587.
