My carrier requires port and password

Has anyone come across this.
Comcast now requires SMTP=25 to SMTP=587
also they require the port to use SSL to use the same password as port 110 login
I see nowhere to redirect other than 25 to 587 but nowhere to authenticate this new port and the use of password.

Help
Thanks in advance!!!!

    If your ISP requires SMTP authentication, I think this wiki page will help you:

    http://getpopfile.org/docs/troubleshooting:smtpauth

    If your mail client does not support different user name on receiving (POP3) and sending (SMTP), you can use the "transparent proxy mode" of POPFile.

    Since I can't find any wiki pages describe about this mode, I try to explain it. Note: currently transparent proxy mode does not support SSL connections (POPFile v2 will support this feature).

    • Open POPFile UI and click 'Security' tab.
    • Input your POP3 server name (ex. pop3.example.com) in "Remote POP3 server (SPA/AUTH or transparent proxy):" field located at "Remote Server" section.
    • Edit the value of "Remote POP3 port (SPA/AUTH or transparent proxy):" field if your POP3 server uses port number other than 110.
    • Remove the POP3 server name from the username of POP3 server in your mail client settings. (ex. pop3.example.com:account -> account)
