organisations use to deliver emails over the Internet. It\u2019s a method in which emails are transmitted between the mail server and the mail clients. It also includes all the servers in between. This ensures that when an email is sent, it arrives at its destination on the recipient&#8217;s mail server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In SMTP, messages in the form of data are dispatched, and the traffic is routed to ports. Once this message travels through any given port, email security protocols are used for message validation. They either deliver the message straight to the recipient\u2019s inbox, discard it, or make it land in the spam folder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_SMTPS\"><\/span><strong>What is SMTPS?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.truesend.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/what-is-smtps-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"what-is-smtps\" class=\"wp-image-4482\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.truesend.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/what-is-smtps-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.truesend.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/what-is-smtps-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.truesend.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/what-is-smtps-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.truesend.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/what-is-smtps.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SMTPS is considered safer compared to SMTP. In those days when the Internet was launched, an email address\u2019s URL used to begin with www.http. However, spammers and spoofers found this an easy target, as they began to capture protected information. SMTPS, which is equivalent to SMTP and TLS (transport layer security), implements the encryption method and authentication to safeguard SMTP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To verify the traffic\u2019s origin, TLS makes use of a digital signature, and it verifies the source where the email traffic is coming from. The data is transmitted if the origin in the signature aligns with the actual origin. <strong>SMTP port 587<\/strong> is the default one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_SMTP_Port_to_Use\"><\/span><strong>Which SMTP Port to Use?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"685\" src=\"https:\/\/www.truesend.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/which-smtp-port-to-use-1024x685.jpg\" alt=\"which-smtp-port-to-use\" class=\"wp-image-4483\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.truesend.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/which-smtp-port-to-use-1024x685.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.truesend.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/which-smtp-port-to-use-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.truesend.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/which-smtp-port-to-use-768x514.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.truesend.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/which-smtp-port-to-use.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the right SMTP port generally depends on your specific use case and circumstances, it is highly recommended that you use port 587 and only use 2525 if you have trouble sending with 587. Port 587 is the preferred port by ISPs and ESPs because:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The right <strong>SMTP port<\/strong> is usually conditional upon your use case and circumstances. However, using port 587 is highly recommended. This is specifically true when you\u2019re facing a problem with 587. Many ESPs (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.truesend.com\/\">email service providers<\/a>) and ISPs (internet service providers) prefer using port 587 due to the following reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>SMTP port 587 is used in combination with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.truesend.com\/glossary\/email-authentication\">email authentication<\/a> protocols, which keep unrestricted access and security breaches at bay via the sending account.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Port 587 supports TLS encryption. This port encrypts email messages during transmission. As a result, it does not enable spammers to gain unauthorised access to email content.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"3\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The email client being used is set up using credentials: a username and password. This is what <strong>SMTP port 587<\/strong> usually requires. This allows the server to validate the client before sending an email. This gives assurance that only authenticated users can deliver emails through the server. Not only does it lower the spam risk, but it also reduces other attacks that could occur via emails.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"4\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Recommended as the default mail submission port, using port 587 satisfies the standards of the IETF (short for Internet Engineering Task Force).\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"5\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Receiving extensive support not only by email servers but also from client software, port 587 has minimal chances of being blocked by firewalls and ISPs.

This port made it successfully in the authentic SMTP proposal of 1982 (around 4 decades ago).&nbsp; Typically used for delivering an email via SMTP, although it\u2019s used for other purposes at times, like the network service remote management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Allowing communication between the servers (sending and receiving), port 25 is the default SMTP port that helps send an email message to a recipient.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a preventative measure, numerous internet service providers (ISPs) and email service providers (ESPs) have already begun to intercept incoming connections on <strong>SMTP port 25<\/strong>. This is due to the widespread use of spam and other types of malicious and email-based attacks. You must consider using a different port to send an email with if you want to make sure your emails are not restricted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Port_465\"><\/span>Port 465<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Used for SMTPS (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol Secure), <strong>SMTP port 465 <\/strong>was a port used for email submissions. By encoding the mail content, this port offered safe communication between the client and server. The reason to use the past tense here is that SMTPS was marked obsolete after the inception of STARTTLS \u2013 a command for changing a connection to secure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To support older mail clients that deployed SMTPS earlier, there are some email servers that may still be relying on port 465 usage. However, it\u2019s not recommended because it does not adhere to RFC. You must avoid using this port for sending emails with SMTP, unless you feel the need for maintaining legacy email applications across a big organisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Port_587\"><\/span>Port 587<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Known as the \u201csubmission\u201d port, email clients specifically use <strong>SMTP port 587 <\/strong>for sending messages to an SMTP server. It\u2019s a highly secure SMTP port. In fact, it\u2019s what ESPs and ISPs prefer for submitting messages. This is because it integrates seamlessly with email authentication to ensure that only authenticated senders can deliver emails via the server. This makes the port a safe and secure way for sending emails. In addition, it helps prevent spamming and other email attack types.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Using port 587 always for sending emails with SMTP is highly recommended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Using_the_Right_SMTP_Port_is_Significant\"><\/span><strong>Why Using the Right SMTP Port is Significant<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"614\" src=\"https:\/\/www.truesend.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/why-using-the-right-smtp-port-is-significant-1024x614.jpg\" alt=\"why-using-the-right-smtp-port-is-significant\" class=\"wp-image-4486\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.truesend.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/why-using-the-right-smtp-port-is-significant-1024x614.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.truesend.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/why-using-the-right-smtp-port-is-significant-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.truesend.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/why-using-the-right-smtp-port-is-significant-768x461.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.truesend.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/why-using-the-right-smtp-port-is-significant.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you use the right port, it not only ensures delivery but also manages your sender reputation. However, you need to look out for some ports that have an ill reputation. Using them that keep your email out of the inbox will be the last thing you want to consider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Picking the wrong SMTP could be detrimental to your inbox placement and harm sender reputation as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"SMTP_Ports_and_Email_Security\"><\/span>SMTP Ports and Email Security<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Various ports have different preventative measures.

Moreover, you must understand the encryption method and relevant use case, as it\u2019s a must for anyone looking to build or manage email systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You lay the groundwork for trusted, safe, and deliverable email communication by picking the right port and integrating it with proper encryption and authentication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At TrueSend, we understand the vital role these ports play for your business, and help you make a practical decision when choosing the right SMTP port for email delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQs\"><\/span><strong>FAQs<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1. How do Ports 25, 465, and 587 differ from one another?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While <strong>SMTP port 25 <\/strong>relays server traffic, ports 465 and 587 manage safe transmission of client emails.<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. Should Port 25 still be used for sending standard user emails?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not at all! Internet Service Providers (ISPs) intercept port 25 owing to widespread misuse of spam distribution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. Why is Port 587 a preferred choice for email delivery?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>SMTP port 587 <\/strong>enforces TLS encryption. This ensures secure and reliable email delivery across diverse modern networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4. Under what circumstances should Port 465 be selected over Port 587?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Choose <strong>SMTP port 465<\/strong> only when older systems or specific network settings require implicit SSL\/TLS encryption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>5. Which SMTP port assures you of the highest deliverability?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SMTP port 587 offers the highest deliverability. This is because the majority of ISPs and cloud providers unblock the port.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you find yourself confused when it comes to picking an SMTP port?
