I'm trying to configure my email accounts on outlook and can't find out what is my SMTP port. I'm using centos vps hosting. How should I find out what is my smtp?

You should clarify, are you looking for your SMTP host or SMTP port? SMTP ports typically run on port 25 or 587. – Tim Dec 21 '11 at 14:07
I need SMTP port... and it's neither 587 nor 25. – Levani Dec 21 '11 at 14:11
You will have to ask your host then, if you want to get real wiley you can use a tool like nmap to scan the host for the open port, that however is beyond the scope of this question. – Tim Dec 21 '11 at 14:13

If it's neither of those ports then you have a very non-standard configuration and would need to look at the server to figure out what port it is. Let me reemphasize how odd it would be to run SMTP on ports other than 25 and 587. – Chris S♦ Dec 21 '11 at 14:13

SMTP is an IANA-registered well-known service running on TCP port 25.

If that is not the answer you were looking for, you'll have to be more specific.
