Really? Port 587 and 465 don't work?
I note that some broken software (written by our favourite whipping boys
in Redmond) insists on using tls-on-connect on ports other than 25, so you
have to support both old nonstandard smtps on port 465, and a standard RFC
2476 submission server on port 587. Our recommendations can be seen at
http://www.cam.ac.uk/cs/email/muasettings.html
Also, the first author of draft-hutzler-spamops-02 works for AOL and that
document states that ISPs MUST NOT block or intercept port 587.
