yes, i'm very sure the port number i specify has a smtp server running on it. as i said, try it yourself with the port 25. i'm still able to send my mails specifying the port number with evo-1.4. maybe the bug is not just in that but in combination with ssl. i use ssl only.
Oh, right. Well SSL SMTP doesn't run on port 25 by default, so when you're specifying port 25, you're probably specifying a port the server isn't listening on, if the server ONLY supports ssl. smtps is on port 465.
