  1. Then type the IP address or hostname of the Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP) server required to send emails.

    Changing the default port for SMTP (25) is not supported with Unity OE version older than Nighthawk (4.5.0). 
    From Nighthawk onward, unity starts to support customize of SMTP port:

    06:34:56 service@Peggy spa:~/user> uemcli /net/smtp -h
    Storage system address: 127.0.0.1
    Storage system port: 443
    HTTPS connection

    Manage SMTP server settings. Use SMTP to have system alerts emailed to specified addresses.
    Actions:
      [Show]
      /net/smtp [ -id <value> ] show [ -output { nvp | csv | table [ -wrap ] } ] [ { -brief | -detail | -filter <value> } ]

      [Set]
      /net/smtp -id <value> set -addr <value> [ -port <value> ] [ -encryptLevel { none | startTLS | ssl } ] [ -authType { none | plain | login | cram_md5 | digest_md5 } ] [ -user <value> { -passwd <value> | -passwdSecure } ] [ -bypassProxy { yes | no } ]
