Depends on the university. While there are probably a lot of open SMTP relays around, most are being quickly closed for the reasons I already mentioned. Any university that has open SMTP will be quickly blacklisted. Obviously, they wish to avoid this. Also remember that the Internet is far from anonymous, and even a spoofed IP address can be relativly easily traced.
For outside access, we are talking about two different things. TelNet access is much different then an open SMTP relay, and receiving mail has nothing to do with sending. Most TelNet sessions also require a valid user/pass combination, and guest access rarely has sendmail access.
While I'm sure that there are a lot of insecure setups, it's not worth the time and trouble to deal with a few idiots. I just cut and paste a stock reply directing them to this topic.

Viola isnt a naughty word.
A viola is a stringed instrument.
Maybe you meant "vulva"
