| as far as i know, port 587 is used for SMTP as a workaround because
many high speed ISP providers block port 25 to prevent spammers going
thru their line.
does anyone know if this is just a common practice, or if 587 is in
some standard spec or recommendation?

RFC 2476, Message Submission.
Is there a reason you couldn't do your own search at www.rfc-editor.org?

"May i be a troll, but sometimes i think that my learning and issues and
the bag of fire inside of me are too important for the progress of
society ... If you think i'm a troll, then you should know that the best
response to a troll is to not respond. You are now a victim of troll. "
