Outlook 2003 SMTP AUTH failures; port 2525

[Guest]

I'm running Outlook 2003 to my domain's IMAP server, and need to do SMTP AUTH
logins to send mail (my laptop roves through several different ISP's every
day). I also need to use an alternate SMTP port as some ISPs block port 25
traffic.

If I use another email client, such as Thunderbird, I have no problem
sending and receiving email. When I use Outlook, the userid arrives at the
SMTP server messed up. For example, the userid 'tbrodie' arrives as 'bXodie'
(as logged on the SMTP server).

Problem is, I need to use Outlook calendaring to manage my appointments and
need to have calendar emails send/receive all day long.

What do I need to do to get Outlook to send the correct userid?

If you don't have Office 2003 Service Pack 2 applied, please apply it as
there are fixes in it to deal with SMTP Auth issues on non-standard SMTP
ports.
