587 vs 465 explained

Port 587 (STARTTLS) is the common modern default. Port 465 (implicit TLS) is also supported for clients that prefer it.

Recommendation

Try 587 STARTTLS first. If a client requires 465 TLS, use that instead — credentials stay the same pattern.

FAQ

Is port 25 available?

Outbound submission for customers uses authenticated submission ports — not open port 25 relay.
