I'm not sure what specifically you are asking for.  Do you mean you
want to attach a port number to an email address, so that when the
message gets through whichever SMTP servers are needed beforehand, and
is ready to be sent to the final one (the one for the end user), you
want to instruct the prior SMTP server to use a different port?  That
is:

You send message to your local SMTP server, it relays to server X, ...
it sends to final recipient's server, using non-standard port?

Yes. (Suppose I have two SMTP servers on different ports on the same
machine).

Or do you simply want to instruct your client to use a different port
when submitting messages?

No, this is too simple :-)
