IMPORTANT
Usually, the port used for the Outgoing Mail
Server/SMTP Service is 25. However, there might be a situation where your ISP
might be blocking the use of port 25 for SMTP service. Many ISPs block port 25
in order to minimize the amount of spam sent using their network. If you are
facing issues sending mails using the default port 25, you can confirm with
your ISP whether port 25 is indeed blocked by them.
To circumvent this, ResellerClub
allows you to use an alternate port 2525 for sending mails if
port 25 is blocked -
a. In Entourage, on the Tools menu,
click Accounts.
b. In the Accounts
window, the email account configured is listed. Select the account and click
Edit.
c. This will bring up the
Edit Account window.
Click the Click here for
advanced sending options button under Sending mail section.
d. In the Override default
SMTP port field, replace the default port number
25 with the alternate port number 2525.
e. Click OK in the Edit Account
window to save the changes.
