Cant Send Email. ISPs Blocking port 25

I have a client that is having problems sending email when they take their laptop overseas due to some ISP’s blocking port 25. Do you know of any good workarounds for this issue. Using the ISP is not a good workaround as it means changing your outgoing email each time you travel.

We are running Exchange 2K3 with Outlook Client 2003.

Greetings, Shurafa !

What emal service are you using to send the email?  Some email services will allow you to use alternate port 587, which will get around the port 25 blocking.  Yahoo will allow you to use SMTP port 587.

Best wishes!

We are using Microsoft Exchange 2003 as I mentioned in the post above.

I would rather not use a non standard port as that leads to another whole set of issues. Is there anything in Exchange that will let you send email while off site?
