This results in a support cost every time a user needs their client configured. My instructions have used 587 since the day I added support on my mail server, but most people still use 25 because they simply don't bother to go into the Advanced options to configure anything even if the instructions tell them to do so. -- Failure is not an option. It's bundled with your software.
