Qmail SMTP On Alternate Port For FreeBSD

[MattR@]

Does anyone have any idea how to accomplish Qmail SMTP running on an alternate port for FreeBSD, the copying, /etc/services instructions for RedHat don't work / apply to the FreeBSD install. ANY help would be appreciated.

in /etc/services

smtpXXX NEWPORT/tcp mail #Simple Mail Transfer
smtpXXX NEWPORT/udp mail #Simple Mail Transfer

XXX= somehting unique so its different from just smtp, and NEWPORT is the port you wish to run it on (make sure you dont interfere with anything else)

in /etc/inetd.conf

copy the line that starts:

smtp stream tcp nowait root

and change smtp to smtpXXX

Now simply restart inetd

kill -HUP `cat /var/run/inetd.pid`

and check its running with

telnet localhost NEWPORT

Hi Mikk,

The posted solution allows Qmail to listen on both port 25 and newport for SMTP connections, or it only substitutes port 25 with newport ?

Thanks

it enables connections on both ports.
