I’m leaning towards option E, but I’m not sure if there’s a better way to handle this without affecting the server's operations.

I feel like we had a similar question in practice about securing SMTP, and I think blocking the port might be too drastic.

I think forcing a username and password could help secure the server without shutting it down, but I’m not completely confident about that.

I remember we discussed how blocking port 25 could disrupt email functionality, so I'm not sure if that's the best option.

This looks like a tricky security question. I'll need to carefully analyze the role sequence and security settings to determine the correct access level for the user.

I feel pretty confident about this one. Collecting patient ratings and feedback is a standard practice in medical education, so I'm going to go with option A. Ratings of satisfaction seems like the most relevant choice here.
