However, many hotspots block outgoing connections to *anyone's* port 25, which was the topic sentence of (at least part of) this thread.
As do some ISPs. This is broken and I blame Microsoft ;-) It should be perfectly reasonable for me to connect to my private SMTP server on port 25, issue a STARTTLS, authenticate and use it. But that's hard for them to check. Blocking port 25 to prevent random virus driven connections is an inevitability. Generally, they don't block port 465 yet so I can use smtps instead.
For hotspots though, what do they recommend the customers use for SMTP then? Or did we do that one.
