Yes, of course. That's why I brought this up: to suggest that Tucows make
their mail servers listen on port 587 as the standard suggests (instead
of, or at least in addition to, port 8025).

It would cut down on a few support questions for resellers who offer
Tucows e-mail (not me) if knowledgeable end-users were able to just try
using the standard port 587 and succeed, instead of having to ask which
nonstandard port number they should use.
