Port 587 (submission) is better
Instead of using the non-standard port 2525 for this I recommend using the standard mail submission port which is 587. This port is specifically for the case when you need to accept inbound mail from authenticated users. The port is already listed in /etc/services with the name submission. A typical setup for a server processing both inbound and outbound mail would be to have a normal MTA (Mail Transfer Agent) set up on port 25 that accepts mail destined for local users (or accepts all mail based on IP or based on authentication) and then have a separate MSA (Mail Submission Agent) set up on port 587 which only accepts mail from authenticated users. With newer sendmail you can even avoid running any sort of milter-based spam filtering on mail coming in from the MSA port which both speeds up processing and avoids inadvertantly tagging outbound mail as spam for example in cases where someone connects through a dial-up account listed on several blacklists..
Port 587 (submission) is better
This does not solve the problem of the ISP blocking port 25 for SMTP. All this solves is having my server answer mail calls on port 2525 or 587. Once my mail server, Postfix, receives the mail, it has to send it out. This still goes through port 25, and as such is blocked by my ISP. What I need to configure is the way Postfix sends the mail out, so that I can fool the ISP and use another port, which is open, to actually send the mail out. The reason I want to do this is the size limitation of my ISP“s outgoing mail server, 10 MB. Postfix will handle larger mails.

Change the SMTP-port
