Re: Port 57 vs 587

At my office:

OK (out-going mail): telnet servername 25
OK: telnet servername 110

At my client's office:

No: telnet servername 25
OK: telnet servername 110

On advise of the web host, at client office change port 25 to 587:

OK: telnet servername 587


Question: Why is this so ?

I work at a web host, we tell people to change to 587
in cases where their ISP blocks port 25 connections attempting
to leave their network, i.e. they are trying to stop spammers.
