I received a wonderful answer in here on how to setup a SMTP relay to my email hosting service in Windows 2003 Server a few months back. Answer provided in this website <a href="http://www.amset.info/exchange/smtp-connector.asp" rel="ugc">http://www.amset.info/exchange/smtp-connector.asp</a>. Comcast as many of you know is a pain when they elect to change ports on you without notifying you even as a BUSINESS CUSTOMER. They frequently make the mistake of setting up business customers as residential customers, then switch ports on them to 587 without noticfication. How can I change the default port of the SMTP relay Connector in Windows 2003 Server to 587 instead of what I assume is 25.<br />

SMTP Relay on Windows 2003 SBS Server - Can I change the default SMTP port?

Interactions between email servers and clients are governed by email protocols. The three most common email protocols are POP, IMAP and MAPI. Most email software operates under one of these (and many products support more than one).  The correct protocol must be selected, and correctly configured, if you want your email account to work.

Email Protocols

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).

Exchange is the server side of a collaborative application product that is part of the Microsoft Server infrastructure. Exchange's major features include email, calendaring, contacts and tasks, support for mobile and web-based access to information, and support for data storage.
