Some ISPs block Port 25 in an attempt to reduce spam and viruses. The CSL has made Port 587 (a reserved port for email message submission) available for authenticated SMTP. Please see configuration information for your specific email client below..." The Symantec Antivirus checks port 25 for outgoing emails. So, if we could set port 587 for smtp on the server side, then it may work with symentac antivirus. Is it true? If yes, how to set the port 587 on the server side for smtp? Will that work anyway?
