Many ISPs who provide service to home users block the outgoing SMTP port, just for this reason. So if a home user did have such malware, it wouldn’t be very useful.

Mine doesn’t. In fact I have a scanner that plugs into my network that can scan directly to email because my ISP doesn’t block SMTP relay from internal users (thank goodness).
