Alternate to port 25 for sending mail?

Hi, is there an alternative to port 25 for sending out email that I could use.

I am on SBC DSL, and apparently SBC has blocked port 25, but if I am trying to use mail.somethingspecialgiftbaskets.com as my mail server, I don't know if its ultimately SBC's issue or not.

Anyways, I am looking for an alternative to port 25, is there one?

Thanks
Bryan
 
Port 587, Standardized alternative port for SPF(whenever it comes into real effect)
 
Port 465 (SMTPs) is also available now. Please make sure you check the option "This server requires a secure connection (SSL)" or similiar option in your email client (if not MS-Outlook or Outlook Express).

Just FYI, port 995 (POP3s) and port 993 (IMAPs) are also available for use.
 
You can ask SBC to unblock the port for you (through a mailform to their helpdesk on their website somewhere after you log in, iirc). I told them I needed it for business and it was unblocked the next day.
