internal app can't send email to office 365

After we migrated to Online Exchange, our internal database not able to send email . I found out Office 365 use SSL/TLS with port 587, and our database only accept SSL port 465. I added in the Yahoo email and server then the database work fine, but not Office 365. I created smtp relay on the server, but still doesn't work. We have sbs 2011 standard server. Please help, thanks.

I don't think Microsoft has any plans of changing this, and as far as I can tell, you cannot change the port that hosted Exchange / Office 365 uses.

Your best bet (if you can't change the way your database app works) is to set up a relay server.

You mentioned you did that, and it didn't work. Can you provide more detail?

What exactly doesn't "work"?
Are you able to telnet into the SMTP relay and test it?
Is it not accepting connections? Or it accepts the connection but won't relay it?

Why can't you change the port in the app?

I just run telnet on my domain and it failed on all 3 ports 25, 465, and 587. It could be that I setup properly but don't know how to connect it with the app. I'll setup the smtp relay again. Right now I follow this link to re-setup the smtp relay (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/230235). If you have any a better link, please advise.

The internal app we had is a DBA database, and I already contacted the tech support. He said the app only take SSL port 465 for email setting. I test office 365 smtp setting with scan to email on printer and it worked fine. I'll reconfigure the smtp relay again let you guy know, really appreciate your help.
