25 is not ftp.
Let's not get overboard. I mean, there is nothing preventing me from
providing (for example) a HTTP service on an unassigned port in that
range, say on a LAN. Should Lynx then refuse to access that?
Not all ports below 70 are assigned, and not all of those assigned are
"dangerous" services. OTOH any other port in the whole possible
range could also have potentially a service behind it that could give uhm
unexpected results when a HTTP(or ftp, gopher,..) client connects to it.
