I'm not about to try to track down 250 people all over the place and try to get them to walk through changing the port in their mail clients.  I'm a hosting provider, and supporting port 25 is pretty much a requirement.  It's hard enough to get them to check that damn AUTH box on the server's tab that Microsoft hides from the setup wizard.  Seriously.

If I was hosting corporate mail servers for security conscious customers, I might suggest such a thing.  Most of my hosting customer's IT staffs consist of the neighbor's 13 year old kid that knows enough to be dangerous.  Heck, I can hardly mention the word "port" to some ISP tech support person with them suggesting that I'm being too technical.  Seriously :)

I do recall your old directions about tricking IMail not to bond to every IP, I just don't feel that I want to support this despite the fact that it is working for you as you have said.  I think the router implementation is more eloquent and should present no issues, so I'm going to chase that one down until I hit a roadblock.  Optimally, Ipswitch could give some consideration to the fact that they aren't always going to be the sole SMTP server on a box, nor will they need to be an SMTP server on every IP of the box regardless.  Wouldn't that be dandy?

While I still don't know why you're running an AUTH-only mailserver on
port  25--rather  than  having your users use a port that is both less
likely  to  be  spammed  directly  and more likely to be permitted for
egress  by  consumer ISPs--you can indeed run MS SMTP and IMail on the
same  box, same port, different IPs. Just follow my old directions for
running IIS and IMail WM in the same config.
