Topic: using port 2525 for smtp traffic in SME 7

[barn]

I'm currenttly using sme 6, and I'm using port 2525 for smtp, as described in this thread

http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=24273.0

And I have tried the same procedure under SME 7, and it goes fine until:

service smtpfront-qmail restart

as 7 is not using that service, I tried to restart any service that gave a hint of being smtp related, but to no avail.

But apparently that is not enough to restart a service, because I rebooted the machine, and that didn't do it either...

Can anyone tell me how the feat is done on a 7

TIA

Undo what you've already done, and then portforward port 2525 to localhost port 25.

Thank you, I will try that.

I was actually hoping that you Charlie, would see this post, as as I just *knew* you had the right answer.


Unfortunately I *just* moved this thread to an appropriate forum, when you answered. Oh well.


But thanks again!

hello I am using sme7.04 pre and I have tried the instructions for port forwarding but it does not work. when I try to telnet on 2525, I do not get a response. I only get a response on 25.

In sme 6, I was able to change the services file and that seemed to work well.  Is there any way to change the services file and get same functionality, I would like to change the default listening port of qmail.

Thanks,
Kris

Are you testing from the Internet side? Port forwarding doesn't work from the local network.

Thanks Charlie, works now. I had to set my router to use external interface as dmz and then when I tested from outside it worked fine.  Appreciate your help!
my mail comes in on port 2525 and i can send out using my local isp mail address.
Cheers,
