Re: [PLUG] Need help with Postfix config
|
I agree that SMTP auth on an alternate port is a good thing, especially
since ISPs are blocking 25 outgoing more these days. However, Port 587 is
the standard port for accepting mail from users.
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2476.txt
You should be able to configure it to accept authenticated users on both
ports without causing a problem, which may help reduce support.
I can't help you specifically set it up, but the commands postconf and
postconf -n should be helpful if you havent used them yet.
