Think about it.
You find the server through out-of-band. Anyways, even though having no default port makes it a little harder for standard firewalls to block, anyone who knows how to use a packet sniffer can find you even with a random port (they can just detect that you are making an encrypted channel - if they detect lots of encrypted channels, especially ones coming in from outside, they will be tipped off). -- Travis Bemann Sendmail is still screwed up on my box.
