Surpass Web Hosting Forums - View Single Post - Any chance of getting port 587 enabled for SMTP?

This is for the domain on SH91 which does have 198 enabled.

I'm trying it in Outlook Express; my daughter, another account user and the one with SBC who blocks port 25) is using Outlook 2003.

Neither of us uses IMAP, so we're set up as POP3 accounts.

I, myself, tried connecting through two different ISPs and neither port 26 nor port 198 works as an outgoing mail server port with either ISP.

I'm fine with the standard ports - it's my daughter who needs the alternative SMTP port. I was just trying the different ports out so I could tell her what to make her settings so she could send mail.
