[macvoiceover] Re: how does the smtp server know?

the default is port 25.  25 may be working again, it was out for a ehile. 
you can check the outgoing server port in the server tab of mail prefs.

Subject: [macvoiceover] how does the smtp server know?


Hi all, I'm writing this message on the mac, but one thing I don't
understand is, how does the smtp server know which port to send mail
on, because I'm on a comcast connection, and they send their mail out
on port 587, and earthlink sends their mail on port 25, so how does
the mac know which port to send mail on, because if mail communicates
with the provider, even when on a different connection, then this mail
program is really something, just wanted to know, so, how do I make
replies go to the list, because when I replied to a person's message
from the list, or maybe it was the mac visionaries list, it apparently
went to the person, and did not come to me, and I don't see an outbox
in the list of mailboxes, so what is up with that also?  I'll send
this now, and hopefully, it will be sent.
