Default SMTP port

My default setting for my SMTP port was 25. Several days ago, I found that
about half my emails wouldn't go beyond the Outbox- but if I tried to send
it from there, it would usually go out.

I contacted my server, Time-Warner and they suggested changing it to 587. I
think because I send so many emails, many of which are cc'd to many people,
their spam checker "thought" I might be spamming. A local computer tech guy
had suggested calling Time-Warner and said there might be a different port
that would work.

And it does! So, I'm going to back off so many emails (none of which was/is
spam).

Anybody know any more about this issue? I think I read somewhere that port
587 isn't even checked by most server anti spam programs and the server will
allow it if they think the user is not a spammer.

Joe
