Topic: Changing qmail smtp port

[did]

Hello,

I'm trying to change the qmail default smtp port 25 for 125, I followed instructions in a document from Sonora Communications, all seem right but when I telnet on port 125, it doesn't work, and on port 25 it's ok, the changes doesn't take effect.

Do I forgot something?
Thanks.

Hi did,

Are you using smtpfront-qmail?

Hi jon,

It seems yes.

A ps ax |grep smtp give that:

  423 ?        S      0:00 supervise smtpfront-qmail
  426 ?        S      0:01 /usr/local/bin/multilog t s5000000 /var/log/smtpfront

Why?

Just making sure.

Did you test telneting to the port as they suggested on the second page(pg.82 in the guide)? Were you successful at that point? How far into the guide did you go before you noticed this wasn't working?

It then appears that at the end of the second page you start up a perl script that is the proxy server. Then on the third page you do some configurations using the web interface, did you do this?

It also tells you at the bottom of the third page that if you telnet to port 25: "You should get the same response as above, though it's now being proxied." Is this what you are seeing? Perhaps you have it setup correctly already and you are just getting confused because of the proxy?

I don't use this particular spam blocker as I have a pretty effective setup with SA+ClamAV+RussNelsonPatch+RBL's+UserNameLookup.

Hope that helps,

Jon

Hi Jon,

The proxy part is not a problem, I know it and have another server with htis proxy and all is fine on it (a debian). I followed all the instructions, and the bug is that the changes I made didn't take effect.

When I telnet on localhost port 125, I receive connection refused, and on 25 it's ok! so it must be opposite!

 
Thanks.
