It is not just a matter of choice. Standard ports for known services exist for a good reason. If some other MUA/MTA over which you've no control wants to connect, it will try port 25 only for SMTP. IMHO, one should first question the logic behind blocking port 25. I see no merit. It only isolates you from the world to run services in a closed user group. If that indeed is the scenario, it does not matter which port. -- Mohan Sundaram _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email ilugc-requ...@ae.iitm.ac.in with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
