Do they just redirect port 25?

My e-mail provider (fastmail.fm) allows the use of a couple of different
ports for the instances where port 25 is redirected by an isp. The
option of SMTP is not included in the free accounts, though the standard
account isn't expensive.

Port: 587 (preferred) or 25 or 26 including STARTTLS support (or SSL
SMTP port 465)

Shouldn't be too long before we can offer a basic SSL solution.

Has anyone tried this for Three? I've found both ports 25 and 26 blocked,
which is rather annoying since my ISP provides 26 as a route around SMTP
blocks. I'm not sure about 587 as they have some other daemon on that port.

I have an E63 on Three which works nicely into port 587 on my own mail
server.

I have 3 mail accounts - one with Force9/Plusnet (my ISP), one with
Spamcop and one with Simply Mail Solutions. All allow use of
authenticated SMTP and I use all perfectly well through 3.

Spamcop and Simply are completely independent providers - but both
charge, although it isn't much.
