Well, not precisely correct...
You *could* use a router that does port translation (translates incoming port 25 connections to port 587), but that would be extremely ugly and kludgy and I certainly don't recommend it.
Amira - what you need to do is re-enable port 25, and then enable the submission service (port 587) at the same time (just uncomment the relevant lines in master.cf), and require your users to use the submission port for relaying their mail.
