Port 25 or port 26?

Should we use port 25 or port 26?
The default port is port 25 and works fine for most cases.
In some cases although port 25 is blocked by the ISP. ( Internet service Provider )

An ISP will do this to block Spam.
In my opinion it only causes problems for the users and does nothing to block spam.

Port 26 to the rescue!

In cases where a ISP has blocked port 25 we can use port 26.
