That's a really poor attitude, and likely to get _your_ servers blacklisted.  
There's nothing inherently wrong with proxying SMTP connections.  
Essentially, that's what we do every time we use a local SMTP as a smarthost 
- and it's how you _avoid_ getting placed on blacklists, by ensuring that 
all your mail gets properly routed.
