Alternate SMTP Port

How do I set up 10.4.6 Server to use a different SMTP port? I would like to set it up to use an alternate port of like 465 since my remote users are getting their port 25 blocked frequently.
Are there different settings for the alternate SMTP port if you are using SSL or not?
Thank you.

You can uncomment some lines in master.cf as described by UptimeJeff here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2222925
This will enable SSL/TLS on port 587, which is referred to as the "Submission" port. I believe it's even a standard. Apple implements the same functionality for their .Mac servers.

Failed TLS Connection to alternate SMTP Destination

I have a typical Exchange 2003 environment, all outbound mail is directed to IronPort C100 for delivery. I have a need to encrypt some outbound email, and so I created a content filter that basically says if "secure:" is in the subject line, then send mail to alternate destination host. In testing this process, it seems as if all is well until ironport tries to contact the destination host. The mail log capture indicates the following:
Info: New SMTP ICID 4561477 interface in/out (10.0.0.20) address 10.1.1.70 reverse dns host moex.uhcu.net verified yes

One caveat is that the email encryption provider can only provide instructions for setting up a TLS Connection directly from Exchange 2003 to their SMTP Gateway using a SmartHost connection, which requires a username and password. Do I need to configure a username/password and somehow insert that into the TLS session from IronPort to the alternate SMTP Host?

First let me say, I wish you would consider using the on-box IronPort/PostX email encryption available in the 5.5 release, in place of outsourcing this feature. I would be glad to demo this for you.
In any case, here is the solution to your problem: (details found in the “Outgoing SMTP Authentication” section of the Advanced User Guide – online help.)
Step 1) Create an Outgoing SMTP Authentication Profile (This is done under the Network -> SMTP Authentication menu.
Step 2) Add or Edit a SMTP Route for the IP address of the "alternate destination host" you are connecting to, set the outgoing SMTP Authentication to use the profile created in step 1).
Optional Step 3) email me and I can come by your office and help.

Sending email using IMAP through SMTP Port 587

Hi,
I have been sending Mail Merged email to people in organizations that I am active in, using IMAP embedded in StarOffice 5.2 (on Windows 98 Second Edition). This worked fine until a few weeks ago when I received an error message stating that AOL, as part of their anti-spam efforts, was no longer accepting third-party emails on default port 25. All third-party email must now use port 587. I looked in the IMAP dialog and in the Tools -> Options dialog, but did not see any place to change the SMTP port. The AOL error message information page had instructions for changing the port in other applications (Outlook, Eudora, etc.), but not for StarOffice. So, I have some questions:
1.Is it possible to change the port in StarOffice 5.2?
2.If not, how does StarOffice 8 send Mail Merged email? Does it use IMAP, and if so, can the port be changed?
3.Also, I like the integrated configuration in StarOffice 5.2, where database fields can be directly accessed in the Insert -> Fields -> Other dialog. In looking at the Mail Merge section in "SO8_What's New.pdf", it appears that Mail Merge in StarOffice 8 is restricted to predefined fields. Could I still access fields from my existing databases?
These is a lot of questions, but right now I am blocked from sending Mail Merged emails which is imparing communications with volunteers who are running educational programs. I appreciate any and all help that anyone can provide.

Please try this out!!!!!!!!!
You can send emails using Outlook also. You can send email over Microsoft Exchange with this object (or another email server, using IMAP/POP).
Sub SendMailOutlook(aTo, Subject, TextBody, aFrom)
'Create an Outlook object
Dim Outlook 'As New Outlook.Application
Set Outlook = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
'Create e new message
Dim Message 'As Outlook.MailItem
Set Message = Outlook.CreateItem(olMailItem)
With Message
'You can display the message To debug And see state
'.Display
.Subject = Subject
.Body = TextBody
'Set destination email address
.Recipients.Add (aTo)
'Set sender address If specified.
Const olOriginator = 0
If Len(aFrom) > 0 Then .Recipients.Add(aFrom).Type = olOriginator
'Send the message
.Send
End With
End Sub

How can I see / change the smtp ports in use by FF 12.0 on my WIN2K antique?

My webmail account works, though slowly, when I'm using NetScape 7.1. When I try to use the same program and service with FireFox 12.0, I can receive email, but sending email gets me an error message that's something like "Could not establish an SMTP commection with the server." The service tells me that my outgoing smtp port should be 465 if I'm using SSL, and 25 if I'm not using SSL. Also, if I'm asked about "authentication," it should be "the same as incoming." Where do I find these settings in FF12.0?
I'm asking this question on another computer, not the one I'm having trouble with. My problem child is an IBM Aptiva running Windows 2000 Version 5.0 (Build 2195; Service Pack 4) Copyright 1981-1999 Microsoft Corp. Physical memory available to Windows: 64,824 KB

Gingerbread_Man, you were right on the nose with the answer to the problem. After I installed Simple Mail v. 2.83.2, my webmail began to work with Firefox v. 12.0. My s-l-o-w computer is now a bit faster, as well, though I don't know how that could have had any connection with Simple Mail. Oh, Telga, TechnalXS, the developer, changed versions to 2.84 while I was installing 2.83.2, so I started over and finished up with the new one. What had me going was that every time I tried to print a copy of their web site, Firefox crashed and burned. Had to be that document, because other things print just fine. Anyway, thanks for your help. I'm going to recommend that Santa put you on his "good list!"

Mailserver using non-standard smtp port

how do i set SMTP to accept connections on a non-standard port (i.e. 2525 or something)?
i'm running a mail server and my residential isp (comcast) after ten years of peaceful coexistence decided that they need to block port 25. so i am setting up a commercial store/forward mail relay service. all i need to do is set up my snow leopard server to accept incoming connections on a port other than 25. sounds easy. it is mentioned in the docs thusly:
"By default SMTP is enabled on port 25. If port 25 is blocked in your environment,
you need to change the port SMTP uses."
... but that's all i can find. specifically, it doesn't say exactly how to change the port.
any help appreciated.

following up to my own post. hoping this info may be useful for others who face the same issue who are running a server and then having email ports blocked by their ISP's.
i worked around this by signing up for a mail relay service (i use the one provided by dnydns.com). they forward incoming mail for my domain over a nonstandard port.
since i never received an answer to my question about how to make SnowLeopardServer email server accept SMTP connections on other ports, i simply used port mapping in my router (Airport Extreme) to redirect this port (i used 2525) on my WAN address to port 25 on my server - an acceptable workaround.
i also did the same port redirection for the other "standard alternative" smtp ports, 465 and 587.
since my ISP blocks port 25 in both directions, i also needed to find a work-around for outgoing mail as well. previously, my mail server simply forwarded to my ISP's smtp server (using the default port 25). here the Server Admin interface worked but with one "trick": under Mail>Settings>General, i left the box for "Relay outgoing mail through host:" checked, and in the field there i put "[smtp.myispdomain.net]:587" (that is with square brackets, and a colon, but no double-quotes - and of course, use your own smtp server's domain name). afaik this is not documented anywhere in the apple-provided docs, but i found the corresponding docs for postfix, and reverse-engineered it.
so now i can read (via IMAP) and send (via SMTP) mail from my home server, both when i am on my LAN and when i am accessing remotely, and effectively work around the bi-directional block of port 25 imposed by my ISP.
i'd still like to know if there is a method of configuring smtp to accept connections on ports other than 25. i can see how to do it by editing /etc/postfix/master.cf, but afaik that file gets overwritten by Server Admin...

POP and SMTP ports

Does anyone knows how to use different POP3 and SMTP ports on CCA? My mail server does not use the standard ones... I tried to use pop.host.com:port but I only got timeouts and host unreachable errors.
Thanks

There is no way to do that? I changed my email server but I really doubt customers would do the same. Also I could not find any way to use SMTP authentication, did I miss a config somewhere?

How to Configure SMTP Port in ODI

Hi,
Someone know how to configure SMTP port in the ODI tool? I tried changing the port number in the odiparams but I still encountered an error:"Could not connect to SMTP host." when executing the odisendmail package object though I can access the SMTP Server thru tracetcp.
TIA,
Cathy

Hi Bhabani,
Thanks for the quick response :) . I saw your post and its a nice approach in sending mail instead of using an odi package object odisendmail. However, the requirement is not to use the gmail credentials but to use the credentials provided to us. But I noticed that the port used for the SMTP server is not the default port number which is 25. So I am guessing that the reason why I cannot connect to the SMTP host is because of the port number. Do you know how to solve this?If you want to change the SMTP port then do the following
edit smtplib.py located at <ODI_HOME>/oracledi/lib/scripting/LIB
change SMTP_PORT to what ever port you want .
restart ODI
execute your mail sending program

Hi
You can paste the output of below result
Get-receiveconnector | fl name,bindings,PermissionGroups
I think your default receive connector should be missing out some permissions.
Also try to see if you get any message on protocol logs and paste them too

Multiple SMTP ports on one GWIA??

We currently are running SMTP on port 25 in GWIA and I have no intention of changing that, for obvious reasons. However, one of the big residential network providers in the area (AT&T/Bellsouth) has a policy of blocking traffic to port 25 on their network to anything but their own server, at least for residential accounts. Due to some of what I'll call legacy issues, we have a good number of users who are just using POP3/IMAP and want to be able to check their mail from home.
What I'd really like to do is to make another SMTP port available, say 26, which would get around Bellsouth's block. (I know that should work; I also have Bellsouth at home and use port 26 with another domain provider that I use personally.) In the GWIA properties on GroupWise > Network Address, however, it looks like I can only set one SMTP port. In this case, it would even work if the second port required SSL, but while separate ports seem to be available for POP, IMAP and LDAP they aren't available for SMTP. I've been telling users to just use the GWWA we have set up, but some of the big shots in the company want to use browsers on tablets that don't like the GWWA, so it'd be really nice if I could just get them to work with SMTP even when they're at home and on Bellsouth.
Any suggestions for how I can get GWIA to listen for SMTP on two ports, 25 and some other port, whether or not that other port requires SSL or not? Is there some manual config file I can override the default ConsoleOne settings with? If there are any recommended tricks I'd love to hear 'em... thanks in advance!
topher

In short, you can't - it is an enhancement request that I and others
have had for some time...
On the other hand if you create a second GWIA, change that so that it
listens on 587 (SMTP Submission Port) with SSL Required and then have
it relay out via your other GWIA you will achieve what you want.
However, please PLEASE ensure that the POP, IMAP and SMTP all have the
SSL set to required so that your users do not send user names and
passwords in clear
Thanks

Changing Default SMTP port in SAP Portal/Web AS java 6.40

Hi all,
We are configuring notification service in SAP Portal 6.0 with SPS 15. The SMTP server not using 25 port which is default for SMTP. when the server is trying to send notification it is pointing to IP address and 25 port. HOw can I change the default port to custom defined port in Portal/Web AS Java.
Thanks in advance.
regards,
Kishore.

Hi,
may be that Im a little bit to late, but for the next one who has the same problem the solution could be interesting.
You can change the default smpt port on Web AS Java in the server parameters of the java virtual maschine.
Open the SAP J2EE Config-Tool. Goto cluster-data | instance_<instance-id> | server_<server-id>. In the tab General insert unter Java parameters the line
-Dmail.smtp.port=<port> where <port> ist the port number of your smtp server.
Testet with SAP NetWeaver Portals / SAP NW 04s and SUN Java-VM but should also work with SAP NW 04.
Greetings
Jens

Change the SMTP Port number in OIM

Hi All,
I have an email server that its SMTP port is 135.
My question is:
How can I change the SMTP Port from 25 to 135 in OIM? Because the notificacions are sent by Port number 25
Thanks & Regards,
Ariel

I actually don't have any other ideas on where this could be configured. I think that the port can be changed if you send emails programmatically but if you use the default OIM email system I don't know any other place where this could be configured.
Have you tried opening an SR with Oracle?
Best regards

How to view and change SMTP port number in new account setup in "Mail" 10.6

When I try to set up and test a new email account addressing an SMTP server that seems to e using a nn-standard port number, how on earth can I even look at the port number assigned by default to a new account in Apple Mail 10.6 setup ?
I might have to trial and error different port numbers but when Mail tries to test the connection to the SMTP server after I enter its address, it just spins and hangs up. I suspect the reason is a wrong port number. How do I change that outgoing port number in Apple Mail ??
There seems to be no obvious way the program will let U do it or even let you view the port it assigns in apparent error.

there is no way to change the smtp port during the original account creation. you can usually wait Mail out if it's spinning its wheels at this point. I've had to wait about 15-20 minutes a few times. eventually Mail lets you through even if it fails to connect to the smtp server. then, once the account is created you can edit the smtp server and try a few different ports and settings. that's done in system preferences->accounts. click on teh smtp server at the bottom and select 'edit smtp server list". then in the popup click "advanced".

SMTP port

We are using Mess Server 5.2 (under solaris 9) and installed using standard SMTP port as 25. We plan to install some Security solution and wish to change this port to some 10000 without reinstalling Mess server. Is it possible? Kindly advise

If you're talking about some kind of virus scanner, you may be better off to let us really know what you're about.
If it's just a firewall thing, most such actually reduce security, and are poor smtp agents.
but if you insist on doing what you've asked for, then the previous answer is correct.

Alert emails to a non standard SMTP port

Is it possible to configure LiveCycle ES 8.2 to send its alert emails to an SMTP server on a non standard port? In the AdminUI there is a field for the server but not for the port.
Thanks,

Hi Jon
Sorry, I thought we were talking about Task Notifications not Administrator Notifications.
Changing the port in the Email Notifications process will work for Task Notifications.
Administrator Notifications use the Java mail default, which is port 25 unless otherwise specified on your system.
Are you using the JBoss Turnkey?
if so, you can try this:
1. Navigate to C:\Adobe\LiveCycle8.2\jboss\server\all\deploy
2. Locate the properties-service.xml file.
3. uncomment the following block and set the property as follows:
    
    <attribute name="Properties">
          smtp.mail.port =<your port #>
    </attribute>
4. You don't need to restart JBoss.
The only downside is that this is now the smtp port for that server and any other apps on that server.
If you can live with that, it's an easy workaround.
