Here's where I picked that up from a discussion about why someone 
couldn't retrieve their mail:

--------
According to <http://www4.nau.edu/achd/publicdisplay.aspx?id=2912>, 
the SMTP server name for infomagic.net is:
SMTP.infomagic.net

infomagic.net may require authentication and a change of SMTP port to 
2525 instead of simply 25. To do that, infomagic.net Persona in 
Eudora.ini file needs to be edited by adding:
SMTPPort=2525. (I found this on a Website related to infomagic.net.)
---------

Like I said, I don't know which is which.
