juha: There's no way to use a different SMTP port either on the Apache.

Audiophiles are such twits! They buy such pointless stuff: Gold plated cables, $2000 power cords. Idiots.
OOOHHHH HYPERFIBRE!

muppet: Are you allocated a static IP by your provider, or dynamic? Do you use the mailserver for incoming mail, or sending only?
muppet: I am on Xtra and run my own mailserver for outgoing mail, it seems this'll now be blocked as well as contacting my "static" mailserver. I'll ask to have this removed when it's turned on, otherwise I'll just set the mailserver (my static one) to listen on a different port as well and shut down my local outgoing SMTP server.
muppet: It still seems like a really stupid thing to do, but Juha makes a valid point so I can see them doing it. It's going to be a lot easier for them to field a couple of calls from techie people, as opposed to them actually having to contact infected customers (who let's face it are going to be pretty dumb)
freitasm:
You just have to define the server with the port: pop.yourserver.co.nz[:port#] and smtp.yourserver.co.nz[:port#] (without the [ ] of course).
