Reliance has started to comply with the world standards in securing email communications, specifically to the guidelines prescribed under the Anti Spam Technical Alliance (ASTA) founded by Microsoft, Yahoo, AOL and other major service providers. Basically this would prevent unauthenticated emails by spyware / spamware, originating from your desktop. Very soon other Indian ISPs would follow suit.
As you are aware emails are classified as spam on the basis of IP address blacklists maintained by third party non profit organizations. Bulk unsolicited emailing by spamware / adware software installed on desktops lead to this IP blacklisting.
Complying with the above said ASTA standard will ensure that your emails are not classified as spam.
Adware / viruses / hackers use port 25 to send / relay emails over the internet. ASTA recommends ISPs to block port 25 for its dynamic IP customers.
