A Caveat though ..
You will not be able to send mail off your own SMTP server on port 25 if you are on the 'dongle network'- for now. It's a DHCP service and extremely vulnerable to abuse by spammers. You will only be able to relay off Orange's SMTP server which Mike has talked about or though any one of the many authenticated relays out there.

Is it also possible to open port 110 for incoming mail and 25 for outgoing mail which i assume is mostly default for the majority of the dongo users. As pointed out, we do not block any ports. You are are free to use whatever ports you want to use while using your dongle. The email setup you have dictates the nature of connectivity you are to setup. The default port 25 connections and port 110 are open for you to use, again, they are not blocked. Most email hosting companies will provide port 25 for you if you are an Internet user on their network. Orange is going to and will provide his smtp service, however, there is a lot of that platform that is still under development. As soon as its done, it will be availed to all Orange Internet users. Others will provide port 25 for you if and only if you authenticate to send email. Google is such one email service provider that does not care what IP address you connect from as long as you authenticate. Unfortunately, I do not know of any email service provider in Uganda that offers smtpauth (I stand to be corrected) on their service platform while not connecting from their network. (Again I stand to be corrected.)
