On the other hand, why don't modern mail user agents and mail transfer agents come configured to use MSA port 587 by default for message submission instead of making customers remember anything? Better yet would be for the MUA to probe for the "best" configuration.
The iPhone mail app will try 587 and then fall back to 25 if 587 doesn't work, which strikes me as a model for others to emulate. -- Dave Pooser, ACSA Manager of Information Services Alford Media http://www.alfordmedia.com
