SQL Mail port

    Does anyone know what port number does the SQL Mail used? Since we normally allow port 1433 within our network to communicate with the SQL Server and I'm concerned with the security problem once I used the SQL Mail feature.

    SQL Mail directly does not use any port communication. Insteady It uses MAPI client to send and receive mails. Once If you create a mail profile that is enough to configure the SQL Agent.

    SQL Mail is not a server program like SQL Server, that "listens" to a certain TCP/IP port (or more). It is a client program that _in the end connects_ to a server program - the SMTP server program, that "takes" the email and forwards it to the destination.

    So there are no port-listening related security considerations.
