              Just thought about my old notebook. Sounds like a bad story: A thief took it in the middle of the night out of my office. Poor guy ... he injured himself pretty bad, there was blood all over the carpet because he just broke the window and didn't pay much attention. I still have the VGA connector and the power supply. He just forgot to take the power supply and didn't disconnect the monitor before running away.
              Got a call from the police a few weeks later: They found him, he took it because he was trying to get money for his next kick.

                FINALLY got our Exchange server to send emails again... New ISP blocks port 25 (thanks for telling us). A little powershell magic and we are up and running again.

                    I was very near the point of attempting physical assault on a server.

                        He's kicking some ass so far.

                          How did a script save this? You sending out a non standard port now? How do you receive email?

                              I have 3-5 hours of trainings/meetings every single day this week. I have no idea how I'm supposed to do my job at all.

                                We were receiving external mail just fine. After switching our ISP on Friday, we could no longer send on port 25. ISP support lets us know they block all port 25 traffic, so I used PS (well, Exchange Management Shell) to change the port number to 2525. It was just 2 commands:

                                Get-SendConnector -Identity "SENDCONNECTORNAME" | fl

                                Set-SendConnector -Identity "SENDCONNECTORNAME" -port 2525

                                All inbound stuff remains unchanged.

                                    AFAIK the only long term effect will be being able to send mail to external domains. But I suppose time will tell...

                                      Not from any properly configured email server. They'll continue to retry for up to a month. The system was designed for email servers to not be reliable/online.

                                        it's possible that a receiving email server could be setup to not accept email coming from a non standard port. This seems highly unlikely, but possible.

                                        A thought that someone might have is, only someone trying to use a consumer class internet connection would be trying to send email out a port other than port 25, therefore anyone who tries to connect on my port 25 from a port other than 25 will be blocked.

                                        This is kinda crazy and leaves so much room for problems, but it's completely possible.

                                          Hadn't really considered that. Our 2 choices were 2525 or 587, and since we were scrambling, the idea of the nonstandard port getting booted at the other end slipped our minds. I'll keep an eye out, but I'm fairly sure it won't be an issue since we route through a smart host.

                                            aww.. well, then as long as your smart host is working, you should be fine.

                                            Though I have to ask - you have a business class connection that blocks your ability to use a port? WTF? And you're not freaking out on them?

                                            Is it in their contract that you'll send all outgoing email through their servers? Talk about your Man-in-the-Middle!
