2525 is a good choice. You only need to avoid the ones immediately
following 1023 (IE 1024, 1025, up to maybe ~1200->1500 or so, depending on
your system). The only way 2525 would be a problem is if there were about
1,500 TCP connections before the mail server started up. That's not likely,
unless you stop/restart the mail server later... but in that case, you'll
probably be way below 1,500 TCP connections, or you will have passed 2525.
So it is unlikely that a temporary connection will be using 2525.
Just be careful to avoid using 1024 or ones higher than but close to it.
