Alternative Email Port 26
Posted by PremiumReseller.com on 27 September 2009 02:38 PM

When you add email in Microsoft Outlook or other email client software, SMTP port is 25, POP3 port is 110.

Some ISPs block port 25 to force users to use their email server.

In that case, you can configure email clien to connect SMTP via port 26.
