Once the connections reach squid its far too late to ignore them.

Your ISP is offering severely broken service and needs a good yelling
at. Providing a public service over port-80 is downright foolish.

There are several different ranges of port available (25, 587-589, and
15**) for SMTP servers under various scenarios and security needs.
