It depends if your mail server is configured to be an open relay. You should investigate it further as this would be very bad. What mail server are you running or why is port 25 open in the first place?

It's used for sending emails.

But even if port 25 is open if IP of VPS is blacklisted,

email will go to spam.

Better to use transactional email providers like MailGun, SendGrid or Gmass with warmed gmails.
