I'd like to configure my smtp server to listen on an alternate port, but I can't see how to do this in Webmin. Is it in the Sendmail settings? Postfix?

thanks

Hi Eric,

Sendmail runs on fresh installed server by default, so you will need to adjust sendmail settings. Edit /etc/mail/sendmail.mc and add:

Code:
DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=submission, Name=MSA, M=Ea')dnl

after the "DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp, Name=MTA')dnl" line.

As noted in the comments of sendmail.mc, this will cause sendmail to additionally listen to port 587 for connections from clients.

You will need to issue "make -C /etc/mail" after editing, and "service sendmail restart"
