Umm...I meant I would like to change the port that users send mail
from...i.e. connect to the server. Is that not
possible? I was thinking port 587 for sending, but does that mean
every server coming into my server has to know that? I am running
into the problem with roving users that have home ISPs that are
blocking port 25 from their lines. So, users have to go in and
change their mail servers when they get home, then change back when
back in the office. Does that make a little more sense?<br>
