Title: using port 2525 for smtp on sme 7
Post by: barn on February 21, 2006, 03:31:22 AM

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

That advice is dated, and wasn't really required under 6.x either.

Set up a port forward from 2525 to port 25 on 'localhost'. And then clean up by removing the customisations from that thread. You're done.

If I want to open a port for an application to listen on the SME server itself (rather then forwarding to a host on the internal network), can I use the port forwarding to say for example:

open (TCP) port 8765 and forward it to localhost on port 8765 ????

Just tried this and the server manager accepted my input but I do not have an example program to test this with.
