Norton 360 V.6 doesn’t permit me to add SMTP Port 587 to Protected Ports. My ISP switched to this port in Outlook Express, which I am using. There is no way to go back to SMTP port 25. How can I add subject port to Protected Ports?

Hi ErhanKarabekir,

 

Port 587 is an SSL-encrypted port that cannot be monitored.  That is why you are unable to add it to the Protected Ports list.  Norton only supports non-encrypted POP3 and SMTP ports.

Hi ErhanKarabekir:

 

Just a footnote to SendOfJive's post.

Here's an article that explains Port 587 for your interest -
