There are two standard alternate ports for an email server. RFC2476 describes
port 587 which uses a secure login to authenticate the user. RFC2554 describes
port 465 which is to be a filtered input port to allow a user to use it instead
of port 25 but also stop spam from going through.
Any port can be substituted for any other port as long as you know which port
the service is on. Some ISPs do use none standard ports for access but not
many as it requires their users to be more knowledgable about how to set up
their computer.
