Hello,

I have a quick question... I have a client that is unable to use port 25 because of his ISP blocking it, is it possible to setup a port forward so he can access port 26, but keep smtp on port 25?

Thanks,
Tim

If you're using CPanel, this is easy to do.
Go into WHM, open up service manager, find exim on another port (it's at the bottom), make sure that it's checked and put whatever port you want to in there.

See, I don't want to make this a server wide thing.. I would like to forward requests on port 26 for example over to port 25 on the server end. That way everbody else doesn't have to change anything and remain using port 25 and then this client can use port 26 to handle his requests.

Doing that won't eliminate port 25, it'll add the extra port TO the regular exim port. Basically, you'll have 2 ports reachable through exim, 25 and whatever new one you add.

wolfstream thanks.. It's been so long since I have looked at that page I didn't realize it ran another copy on the other port.

Thanks!
