It's not so hard, particularly if they can't send email because they're on a
dynamic IP address that's on a blocklist.

Keep in mind, port 25 still works for the most part. It's not like you
*must* use port 587 for submission, at least not for the forseeable future.
I'm betting that you'll see client email programs default to port 587 at
some point.

Then you *really* don't want to even consider applying patches yourself.
Believe me, having users change their port is easier than it is for a novice
admin to apply source code patches. Plus, you'll need to apply the patches
every time you upgrade qmail-toaster. Talk about a PITA.
