I've done quite a bit of googling on how to reconfigure postfix to work on a different port, but I still can't fond the line(s) people keep talking about in my master.cf. I'm using OS X Mountain Lion, and my ISP blocks traffic both ways on port 25.

people have said to look for a line that says

smtp  inet  n  -  n  -  -  smtpd

I can't find it.

This is (what I believe to be) unmodified

# ==== Begin auto-generated section ========================================

#  Mail backend plugin whenever mails settings are modified.
smtp      inet  n       -       n       -       1       postscreen
smtpd     pass  -       -       n       -       -       smtpd

smtp      unix  -       -       n       -       -       smtp

# Modern SMTP clients communicate securely over port 25 using the STARTTLS command.
# Some older clients, such as Outlook 2000 and its predecessors, do not properly
# support this command and instead assume a preconfigured secure connection
# on port 465. This was sometimes called "smtps", but such usage was never
# approved by the IANA and therefore conflicts with another, legitimate assignment.
# For more details about managing secure SMTP connections with postfix, please see:
