why use port 587? the 'use secure connection' is right there, and if you're doing any passing of authentication tokens across the wire, you should be encrypting it.
I have my clients use port 587 whenever possible, because I use RBLs on port 25 that block some dynamic address ranges.

Is there a better practice for this?
