if you use postfix you can change it to port 587 via master.cf
just change the line with smtpd.
#smtp inet n - n - - smtpd
587 inet n - n - - smtpd
dont forget to do postfix reload or restart

Port 587 is defined as the smtp submission port (sendmail's
smclient).....this is usually designated for secure smtp submission .
Clients and sending mail servers have to be configured to use port 587
when sending mails using smtp authentication. i.e. Relay mail servers
that only accept mails from certain hosts... using the submission port,
with smtp authentication, instead of the regular smtp port will ensure
that no unknown sender will be able to send through it...
