Wow, I didn't even know Panic Button was on the Computer Active web
site. As for your question, I'm not sure if you are asking what to
enter in the "SMTP server port" box on the setup screen, or where to
find out what port to use. So, I'll answer both questions ;-)
The default SMTP server port is 25. If you don't enter a value in the
"SMTP server port" box, it will default to 25. You can almost
certainly leave it blank. I suggest leaving it blank and trying it -
if it doesn't work, no harm done.
However, if you want to check which port Outlook is using, question 6
on the following page tells you how to find out which port Outlook is
using:
