Re: ISP blocked port 25, so getting around with
You really have two problems here. The first is user's being able to connect to your server to send email. and then exim's outbound connection to send/receive email.
I'm going to make a few assumptions here.
- You are using a SMART host that will listen to port 26
- ALL of your users have configured there clients to talk to port 26 not port 25
- You are recieving your internet mail via a MX host that knows to talk to you via port 26.
I personally use both on a few of my servers because I force authentication, and when you travel many hotels are now inteceprting SMTP port 25 traffic and sending it to there server ( and there is not auth there ) so clients can not send mail, So for those users I have port 26 open.
in the main config section add
Code:
local_interfaces = 0.0.0.0.25:0.0.0.0.26
that will listen on both 25 and 26
Don't talk unless you can improve the silence.
