What can I do if my ISP blocks the regular SMTP port 25?

Some ISPs force their Customers to use strictly defined SMTP servers and charge them for this service. This is why they deny outgoing connections to port 25, which is the most commonly used port for the Internet SMTP servers.

We have a solution for this - there is a SMTP server which is running on port 2525, which is most likely not to be denied. You just will have to set your local mail client (Outlook, Thunderbird, Eudora, etc) to connect on it. This is usually done in the Account configuration page.
