My ISP blocks port 25 but I want to use SMTP on my hosting server. What other port to use?
You can use 465 smtp port. To connect to that port, please use the hostname of your shared SSL URL which is typically secureXX.iccmhosting.com (replace XX appropriately) and activate SSL in the email client.
For example in MS Outlook in the advanced settings, change the outgoing port number from 25 to 465 and select the checkbox "This server requires an encrypted SSL connection (SSL)" - also change mail server to secureXX.iccmhosting.com (for outgoing server only).
For MS Outlook:
Tools > Email Accounts > View or change existing account
select the email account and press Change button
Change the outgoing mail server to:
secureXX.iccmhosting.com
Click on More Settings...
Click on Outgoing Server tab
select "My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication"
and keep (o) Use same settings as my incoming mail server
Click on Advanced tab
under Outgoing server (SMTP)
select "This server requires an encrypted connection (SSL)
and change 25 to 465 in front of it.
Press OK and save those settings.
