Server Port
There may be some reasons why you are unable to run SMarTPost on port 25, for example if your ISP blocks some ports. If this is the case, SMarTPost can be set to run as a server on any port you give, but that port must not have any other server running on it.
To set the port, go to the "server" menu, and select "settings". In the box that says port, enter a new port number. To save settings, press "Save".
