In testing, the default of '25' doesn't work for me. Google's support page at https://support.google.com/mail/answer/78775?hl=en says the following: If you tried configuring your SMTP server on port 465 (with SSL) and port 587 (with TLS), but are still having trouble sending mail, try configuring your SMTP to use port 25 (with SSL). Which is a bit unclear but suggests 587 is sensible.

+1. I don't know of any ISP/internet connection near me that doesn't block port 25. Unsure of the stats worldwide, mind you. Otherwise, being able to pass a port as an argument would be a 'human' work-around. |

Perhaps my (university) institution has firewalled port 25,
since presumably that default works for others.
