The version file was sent to me by the tech support guy from my ISP. I asked him if he knew how to change the outgoing port in Emailer. He said that he didn't know, but he rummaged around in a file there that said "Emailer," and came up with that. He said he didn't know what it was, but maybe I could find out.
WooHoo, my hacks are spreading far and wide :-)
On Friday I will be in a place where I use a public free wi-fi connection and I will be able to tell if this is going to solve my problem of not being able to get email out from those places (even though everything comes in perfectly there). It looks promising now.
Yes, for spam control reasons, public access places often block port 25 outbound to prevent people from sending email (or more correctly, to prevent infected machines connected to their system from spamming people that traces back to their IP and gives them grief later for something that had nothing really to do with).
Port 587 is an alternate SMTP Submission port that is used to get around such blocks, and more and more mail providers are supporting use of that port.
