It is best to use port 587 or 465, depending on what your software
supports. Even then you might be out of luck: we had a support question
recently from a Voodoophone user who was having problems sending email
because they blocked port 587 and the software didn't support 465.

With any luck the prospective publication of draft-hutzler-spamops
will persuade these misguided ISPs to unblock 587.
