Title: How do I change the port for incoming mail
Post by: Maestro on May 16, 2006, 10:24:34 PM

Hi.

My ISP has just bloked port 25, so I need to find a way to use a different port.

How can I do that?

Do a search for "blocked port 25" this has been covered many times.

No, you need a way to tell the whole rest of the world to use a different port to send you mail. And there's no way to do that.

You'll need to have your domain's mail delivered somewhere else, where they will store it for you until you collect it, or they will need to deliver it to you via a non-standard port.

Or you need to buy an Internet connection which doesn't have port 25 blocked.

I have a forwarding mail, so I just need to change the port in the server.

No you don't - you only need a port forwarding, from the other port to localhost:25.
