Um, that would be "ONLY port 25 listening" on it's public network 
facing interface wouldn't it.

Why would you want to expose a management protocol like ssh to the 
Internet?

OK so leaving ssh open is convenient, but if we are talking best 
practice surely having your remote management protocols running on a 
separate network, or at the very least filtering on a host basis so 
that it's only listening to connects from your NOC has to be the way 
to do this.
