thanks

Well, it won't do muchg good if the server isn't listening to the other ports.

No, SMTP belongs on port 25.
 
Many 3rd party email hosting providers are having to configure a 2nd port for their SMTP listeners. I don't know of any host that would simply let you relay through them though. If they do, let me know who they are so they get shut down 😀. One common port to use is 587, some other hosts use 2525.

I really don't mind that ISP's are doing this port 25 blocking... but for @$#% sake, notify your customers! I'm getting sick and tired of the 75% of support calls that are related to ISP's blocking port 25. Done ranting 😉
