Need alternate SMTP port on smtp.changeip.com

My ISP blocks any outgoing connections to port 25 other than their own smtp server (so we can send mail only through their server, effectively blocking open relays from their customers). This means I can't telnet to smtp.changeip.com port 25 to issue ETRN commands for my store-and-forward account.

I'd really like to be able to issue ETRN commands to the server, as yesterday it took about 12 hours for me to get my mail to start coming to my primary server when it came back online!

Is this possible to do?

You can also use port 5072. We will be adding more ports shortly, for now SMTP runs on port 25 and 5072.

You can only use ETRN if you have store and forward specified with ETRN.

Thx,
Sam

Well, I have Store & Forward, but I'm not sure where I'd specify ETRN in the configuration here. Now that it's setup, is it too late to change it to ETRN capable?

Nevermind...I just deleted my existing domains and recreated them as ETRN.

Yep - Just delete it and recreate it.
