Port 25 is the standard SMTP port, but is often blocked by ISPs and cloud
service providers. It's used as the default port used for relaying.

I used to use Port 465, but it's deprecated for secure SMTP and no longer an
accepted standard for SMTP.

Port 587 is the preferred port for secure SMTP and is the one recommended for
mail submissions instead of port 25.

I'd be surprised if R-Comp haven't addressed the 'port 25 issue'. It's
invariably blocked these days. If you're still struggling it might be worth
emailing them.

I suggest you take a look at Choices from the MPro menu. If you click on Site
Details it will bring up a window that shows you what transports you are
using, and provides a Setup button which, hopefully, will take you where you
need to be.
