Port 2525 this port is opened on all SiteGround servers in case port 25 is filtered (by your ISP for example) and you want to send non- encrypted emails with SMTP
Configure with SSL
SSL certificate is mandatory at the server end and if you don’t know how to configure then follow the document to configure Domain Name with SSL.
