Bypass blocked email ports?

Question

I'm trying to figure out a way to make email work at my college. They block all ports except outbound ports 80/HTTP and 110/POP3-unsecure. I think they may allow 443 too because HTTPS works.

I know what ports are blocked/allowed because I work part time for the IT department and asked them about it. They let me plug into the staff side while I'm working but during the day I only have access to the student wifi side so I want a way of checking my email. My supervisor there suggested port spoofing but I don't really understand what to do. I think a proxy might work but don't know if that would be secure enough and all I can find are services that cost money.

I use MS Outlook with AOL Free mail

Incoming POP3 Server: pop.aol.com @ port 995 (SSL)

Outgoing SMTP Server: smtp.aol.com @ port 587 (TLS)

My Cox.net email can download (Cox uses unsecure on port 110) but won't send and AOL won't download or send because ports are blocked.

Any help or suggestions are welcome!

Tks!

Answer 1

standard mail uses 25. It's widely used by spammers...

Most mail servers use this ...

Interms of mail transfer from a mail server to mail server.

25 or 587 are the ports to use...

Usually, if a mail server can't connect on 25 it will automatically try 587 to send....
