P perag Guest Aug 14, 2006 #1 My ISP seems to be blocking Port 25 which is needed for outgoing mails due to security concern. How can i assign another port. Plz could someone help with necessary steps for doing the change.

Z Zella Guest Aug 15, 2006 #2 By default qmail already uses 2 ports : Standard SMTP on port 25 and SMTPS (SMTP/SSL) on port 465 Then you can try the port 465. Or you can also add a new port for SMTP. Modify the file /etc/services Add a line like this : smtp your-port/tcp smtp your-port/udp ex: smtp 26/tcp smtp 26/udp BUT DON'T REMOVE the lines smtp 25/tcp smtp 25/udp Save and close the file /etc/services Then restart the xinetd service with service xinetd restart That's all.
