Title: using port 2525 for smtp traffic in SME 7
Post by: barn on February 20, 2006, 08:11:17 PM

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


Erik

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!

Title: port forwarding not working for qmail listening port
Post by: knaidoo on March 11, 2006, 10:28:19 PM

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.

Title: it works, I was testing from 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,
