With 2K it doesn't work on a port other than 25. On 2002 it works
for a while then seems to stop (randomly). On 2003 it works for
longer but still seems to have problems. This is from a sample of
about 200 Outlook users. Eventually I had to recommend using port 25
for all version of Outlook.
I'd like to know what 'random' in this case really means but I don't
have time to do all the testing required.
