How do I force qmail to listen on SMTP port 587
« on: August 14, 2006, 08:30:47 AM »
Port 587 is the RFC recommended port for SMTP submission from dynamic mail clients. To reduce spam, I am using this port, but I cannot get SME Server to work with it. I turned off the firewall for port 587, but qsmtpd isn't listening.

There is an explanation for regular Qmail here on how to do this at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=qmail&m=107817389824446&w=2 but I realize that won't work for SME.

I tried the iptables hack documented at http://lists.contribs.org/mailman/public/devinfo/msg08366.html but that doesn't work for me either.

Thanks for any pointers!!
