In Outlook 2000 go to Tools, Accounts, Properties, Advanced. The very first
section is "Server Port Numbers".

Hmmm..... Bet the ISPs out there (GTE, Mindspring, Earthlink, etc...) would
really love Ipswitch for that one! They take control (spam reasons typically
given) and Ipswitch gives it back??
I suppose since one could use any unused port, it would make it less likely
that a spammer would find the one you are using for SMTP and your clients
would have to know (you tell them, ) and set their software to use it
(assuming that can be done, Len, I've not seen any settings in the clients
I've used), would sort of reduce the risks, but still use of the ISPs
bandwidth now on a nonstandard port...... Probably not a good idea for a
product that follows RFCs. Now, I'm not stating any company policies, only
expressing my personal point of view and maybe a reason for not doing this.
True, it would be cool if one could! Now your IMail users could access from
anywhere and send using your domain names. But they can pretty much do that
using Web MSG, too (whoops, did I find another reason not to make the
change?).
Interesting idea....keep talking.
