Title: IMP Client sending to other SMTP Port
Post by: Robert Poirier on March 30, 2003, 11:28:18 AM

Hi all,

       I'm running SME Server 5.6.  I just reconfigured my e-mail server to use port 22175 since my ISP is blocking port 25 and I use No-Ip Reflector to redirect mail on it.  The server it self work perfectly with clients on the local network.  I can send and receive mail without any problems (after I specify the SMTP port 22175).  Where I get stuck is when i try to send mail with the web interface it wont work since this client is still trying to send on port 25.  

Mar 30 01:54:00 server HORDE[1822]: [imp] unable to connect to smtp server localhost:25 [on line 787 of "/home/httpd/html/horde/imp/compose.php"]

As you can see, it states a line to witch the error comes from but after trying to understand the syntax of the script it doesn't seems to be related to it (Notice that I can be wrong!).  After doing so reserche on the web I found a site that explain the modification to be made for it to work.

http://www.elhoj.dk/new/index.htm?frame=http%3A//www.elhoj.dk/howto.htm

under the link :
   -  configure SMTP relay for mail servers with blocked port 25

There they state that modifiing the file (one lline) horde.php will do the trick.

I did it and modified it as this:

$conf['mailer']['params'] = array('port' => '');

After many atempts and reboot ( last resort :-) ) still no luck

Any hints?

Oups, the last script line sould have been :

$conf['mailer']['params'] = array('port' => '22175');

Sorry.

Did you make a custom template for the change? /etc/e-smith/templates/home/httpd/html/horde/config/horde.php/220Mailer looks like what you need.

Thanks M. Talcott for your reply but I figured out what was the problem.  Yes to answer your question I made the modification in the custom templates sheme and that part worked well the first time.

Fortunatly, the mistake comes from my misunderstanding of the procedure and I appologize.  

The Line :

$conf['mailer']['params'] = array('port' => '');

Had to be added to the script but I modified one that was already existing in the file.

I found out the correct procedure in the IMP documentation.

Regard,
