TekSavvy doesn't block port 25, at least they don't on my static IP addresses.
Still, you want to use 465, which is SMTPS.
What if some other smtpd tries to deliver on 25 though?
465 would be good for the MUA (i.e. Thunderbird), but it doesn't seem reliable to depend on all possible other smtpds to connect that way.
I provide StartTLS on port 25, and my observation is that most MTAs these days prefer SMTP over StartTLS rather than sending email over insecure SMTP. I do allow insecure SMTP for fringe cases of some super old MTAs. And yes, I provide SMTPS on port 465 too. --- Post to this mailing list talk@gtalug.org Unsubscribe from this mailing list https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
I believe there are two topics here, incoming and outgoing Even if the ISP allows incoming on port 25, they are more likely to block outgoing. In that case relaying your outgoing email through a third party could be the only option, I have been doing this for ages by using an account on mxroute.com, and I am sure there are other email providers that can be used as well.
