Sending should be MSA, which is like SMTP except on port 587. And is
rarely blocked by firewalls. That's kind of why the MSA port was
introduced. In 1998.

If you're actually trying to submit via an authentication connection to
port 25, yes I would expect that to break quite frequently. I'd consider
that to be a misconfiguration. You should use port 587. And if the
server isn't listening on port 587 then *it* is misconfigured.

Surely they don't block port 587?

Well, you don't get a proper IP address (neither IPv6 nor even Legacy
IP) so you're afflicted by NAT¹, but that's fairly much the same as with
many of the crappy home ISPs that people use, surely?

Problem still remains.  The last email and this one are sending on port 467.  The port 587 doesn't work at all.  Am I doing something wrong?
