Seriously, just force them. I got so tired of one particular app/mail
server that keep getting blacklisted because of lazy client admin and
users, I sent them a notice that for emergency security reasons,
emails will only be accepted on port 587. Gave them one hour, then
closed 25.

Understandably people screamed for about another hour or so but all of
them ended up on 587 by the end of the day ;)
