Topic: changing mail from port 25 to other

[funkusmunkus]

Hi all,

I subscribed to a ddns service and tried sending emails to my 5.6 u6 server and i was never able to receive any, the ISP i'm with aparantly filters port 25 so i thought that might be the cause, so i need to change accepting mail from port 25 to another port, and use the MS recods porvided by the ddns service to point to it, so how do i go about that ?
 cheers in advance

Edit /etc/services and change the smtp entry to a port other than 25/tcp - eg. 125/tcp

then do:

service smtpfront-qmail restart

Oh yeah, you'll also need the port opening contrib to open up your chosen port.
