SMTP port on email notification setup

Please add the option for Port on the SMTP settings page, some peoples ISP’s block the default ports (They usually claim it’s to reduce SPAM)

Thanks for your feedback @Dragon2611. We should be able to do that. Here’s the issue for it, btw:

Alert e-mails require port 587

I just set up alert e-mails through the RockStor web interface (running version …3.8-6), and it let me specify the mail server address but wouldn't let me specify a port, it is apparently hard coded to 587. My mail server only runs on port 25 internally (I forward 587 to it on the firewall), so I had to hand edit the Postfix configuration to get it to work. Now I certainly could also change my mail server config, but it would be nice if the web interface simply had an option to specify a custom port.
