Change submission port to 587 due to OP25B

One of the ISPs I use in Japan has implemented OP25B (Outbound Port 25 Blocking). It is a measure to curb SPAM related problems by forcing ALL SMTP traffic to go through the ISP's SMTP server. The ISP may secure this traffic by implementing SMTP AUTH, volume curtailing, and some virus filtering to minimize the damage of SPAM.
The issue here is, I cannot connect to any other SMTP servers outside of ISPs network, including those owned by myself. I have users on the road that need to send highly sensitive e-mails to colleagues back home, and I do not want to pass those messages through a third-party SMTP server that I KNOW is filtering and looking at the content.
So, I'm hoping there is a way to make a Mac OS X Server 10.4 mail server listen to port 587. I'm also hoping that the Leopard Server incorporates this into the GUI.

So I find this thing called Mail Connection Doctor hidden in the Window menu. It tells me:
Could not connect to this SMTP server. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the Account preferences. also verify that the server accepts connections on port 587. If it does no, change the port number in the Advanced tab of Account preferences.
Well, I know that port 587 works from the outside of the LAN and also I can Telnet into port 587 from within the LAN. It just does not like listening to SMTP signals. I even tried with Firewall off, so I know it's not being blocked on purpose.
The only thing I can think of is a loopback problem. But then why does the server accept loopback SMTP requests on port 25? There must be something different between these two ports and how they accept incoming connections.

Change SMTP port to 587 doesn't work

Hi,
my ISP blocks port 25, ok and no problem - not for the iphone.
When i change port 25 to 587 it checks the config - works.
After i gone back in the menu the account list, to save the settings, (still in the settings) and go again to the SMTP settings, port 587 has changed to port 25.
Using iOS 4.
Some ideas?
I think the "smash the iphone" method should be the best - self created SSL certs make some problems to the mail.app and so on - very bad. Works under OS X but not on iOS. Never mind, it's ok if i could save atm the port 587.
Cheers

Still the same...
Port 465 changes also back to 25.
My provider @ home needs port 25, ever other port won't work.
Outside i have to use port 465 or 587, but these ports don't be saved - i could only send 1 mail (wich is currently pending to send) after change the settings.

Help!! Cant send email how change my outgoing smtp port to 587 stuck on 25

Im on OSX 10.1.4. I go to Mail, Preferences, Account, Select my email account, Select Edit, Select Account Options.
All I see is a box saying Connect to server port: and it says 143.
When I try to send mail a message says smpt port timed our port 25. I called my internet provider and they told me to change my outgoing port to 587 but I cant find where to change the 25 to 587.
If I go back to the above and change the 143 to 587 my incoming mail stops working.
Am I looking in the wrong place or did I setup my email incorrectly? I selected mac account, pop, smtp.mac.com outgoing server, mail.mac.com for incoming server...did I do something wrong. I have a mac mail email address.
Please someone help me!!
Thanks.

So there's no way to send with other ports? You HAVE to use port 25?
Sure there is - talk to every mail administrator of every domain you might ever want to send mail to and have them reconfigure their mail servers to listen on some arbitrary port number that you define. Wait for them to do it (it shouldn't take them too long), and then you're done.
Oh, no, hang on a minute... none of them are going to do that, are they?
But that's what you're asking for - you're asking for them to accept mail on some non-standard port number just so you can get around Verizon's mail blocking.
There is a reason why standard port numbers (defined by IANA) exists - just so that everyone's talking on the same page (or at least in the same chapter of the same book). You can't arbitrarily pick a port number and expect it to work unless both sides of the connection know to use it. You know port 25 works for SMTP because that's the standard. You can use any port number you like for your own mail because you can configure your own mail client to use a non-standard port, but you can't convince the rest of the world to follow suit (at least not without good reason).
In this case your options are to relay your mail through Verizon's servers, upgrade to their business plan (which supports hosting your own mail server and doesn't break the user agreement), or setup another mail server somewhere else that you can relay your mail through.

Changing email port

I have gotten a couple notices from Verizon about changing my email port for new security purposes. I have gone to Accounts, and changed my outgoing mail server (STTP) to outgoing.verizon.net. I then have gone into the Server Settings and changed the port number from 25 to their requested 587. It doesn't allow me to send email. I know this is a verizon question, but is anyone else having to make this change, and is it necessary with OS 10.4.11?
Thanks

Hi Maurice,
A number of ISP's having been changing their port forwarding numbers to control spam problems for them and their customers. My account is with AttYahoo and they recently changed their outgoing port number.
I can't recall off hand but check to make sure there isn't a "lock" icon that you need to tick once you have entered all the new settings and confirmed them.
The mail settings need to be "exact" to work, obviously, so go back and check any spelling typos, especially with your password. Double check what you have entered for your SMTP address against what Verizon requires it to be now.
Your question is slightly confusing as you mention if this is necessary with 10.4.11. Your specs show you are using 10.3. Is this two different machines and versions of the OS that you are discussing?
If all else fails, I would recommend calling Verizon tech support and just ask them if they will walk you through their required setup for the Mail preferences. Trust me, they are quite accustomed to users needing help with mail settings. It used to be that you couldn't get a tech support person that knew anything about Mac OS but now they have their Mail setup, for whatever OS version, in front of them and can just walk you through the settings and troubleshoot if it doesn't work after that.

How to change default port in iws 4.1 installed in Solaris 5.9

Hi All,
I had installed iws 4.1 in solaris 5.9
Now , I want to change my default https port from 443 to 445 .
Can anybody , Please let me know the proceudre how to do it ?
Thanks for help in advance.
Regards
James

Ya , Manish you are right IWS 4.1 is really old.
But My application has been developed in past that is using IWS4.1 .
Right now , we are not having budget to migrate it from IWS4.1 to IWS6.1.
And the pointer for changing the port from magnus.conf is also correct but
I need to make it default port.
That means If would not specify any port number out of two port request goes to default one.
Right now default port is 443
But I want it to be 445
Thanks

My ISP tells me I need to I need to change the port to send/receive e-mails, but I can't remember my Mail password to add an account. How can I proceed without the password?

My ISP tells me I need to change the port to send/receive mail, as the current port is going to be disabled for security reasons. But I can't remember my Mail password to add an account. How can I add an account when I don't remember my password? It's been several years.

your email password is with your ISP so they can help. but if it is saved in the email app you can just change the ports in the preferneces without a password.

My provider changed to pop3 port 995 incoming and port 465 outgoing. Now it no longer works. I went into the Thunderbird 28 beta and changed the ports

I have Thunderbird 28 beta. After changing the ports, I no longer receive mail and this is the error message going out:
Sending of message failed.
The message could not be sent because the connection to SMTP server mail.3dcartstores.com timed out. Try again or contact your network administrator.
Passwords have not been changed and I have to login on the web

What are the exact instructions from your email provider?
Please post your Troubleshooting Information.

Can't change printer port on Windows 8.1 and Server 2012 R2

1. Install "Lexmark X646e Class Driver" using a in-box print driver (i.e. one comes with the Windows installation base) .
2. Go to "Printer properties" -> "Port"
3. Select a custom monitor port, and the following error occurs in Event Viewer.
An error occurred while configuring print queue 'Lexmark X646e Class Driver'. Printer driver 'Lexmark X646e Class Driver' may not be used in conjunction with a non-inbox port monitor.
Same steps applied on Windows 8 and Server 2012, and not issues found. The restriction/limitation is newly added in Window 8.1 and Server 2012 R2.
Changing to a custom monitor port after printer driver installation is very important for us.
How can we solve or workaround the above issue, so it can behave like Windows 8 and Server 2012?

What Port Monitor just so I can bubble this information to some others?
Alan Morris Windows Printing Team
Hi Alan:
We developed a custom printing system, which involved the following configurations:
1. Create a custom port monitor on server 2012 r2.
2. Change an existing print queue to use this custom port monitor, and share this print queue.
3. All workstations will print to this shared print queue on the server.
The goal is to manage/monitor the print information in StartDocPort for all printing for instance. This is what we've been doing for a long time.
Now we upgraded our system from server 2012 to server 2012 R2, but we can't change the port monitor to our ones anymore.
I've tried the Type3 printer driver, such as Brother Color Type3 Class Driver, unfortunately it didn't work if the installation is using "Add a printer", and select the driver from the list.
The only way to make it work is to install the printer driver using the one downloaded from the vendor's website, this will bypass Windows "Add a printer".
Is there any chance we can make this to behave like server 2012 or earlier? Modify registry keys?
Cheers
Steven

How do I change a port in Mac OS X Mountain lion

Apparently Logmein makes use of port 2002 in mac OS X Mountain Lion. I need to use that for some new accounting software. How do I change the part in Mountain Lion and how would I do an install of Logmein on the computer to use another port or how, with Logmein currently installed do I change from port 2002 to some other port. The major question is how do you change port assignments in OS x Mountain Lion?
Thanks for you help.
Tom in Dallas

There isn't a generic way to do what you want. Not on Microsoft Windows. Not on OS X.
The ICANN registry of port numbers exists so that these messes don't happen, or don't happen very often. So that there are no port conflicts among various applications, and there are ways to request ephemeral (temporary) ports, and (for some applications) to find out which port(s) the application happens to have allocated and is using. In this case, it appears that folks at LogMeIn and with the accounting software didn't avail themselves of the ICANN port database. They're using the preferences mechanism as a work-around for that.
Have a look at ipfw and pfctl tools here (see man ipfw and man pfctl at the Terminal.app prompt), and see if you can figure out how you're going to map just one local application that's opening 2002 to some other port, without disturbing the other application that's mapping to that same port (and colliding). This is the remapping mechanism and akin to what can happen at some firewalls, and not the requested control over the selected port. It's not set up to remap local application conflicts.
The selected port is either a configuration option within the specific tool, or it's hard-coded within the tool. There's no generic registry of applications and ports. That's what the ICANN port registry is for.
The worst-bad-ugly approach is to dump out the executable code, reverse engineer it, and patch the preferred port right into the code; to change the code without using the original source code. Or some tool-specific configuration file or preferences setting, as and if available.

How to change the port in the URL of a BSP Iview

Hello,
we have several appraisal templates released in our R/3 system and we can access them by the portal.
We are changing our systems and we are implementing a load balanced in order to improve the connections with the portal. So we need to know how can we change the port of the server that appears in the URL when we go to MSS ->teamviewer and select one appraisal to see the information of the template.
We need to change it and indicate the port of the load balanced http://emsapl404pre.endesa.es:8000/sap/bc/bsp/sap/hap_document...) not the port of one of the WAS server as we have now http://emsapl404pre.endesa.es:8302/sap/bc/bsp/sap/hap_document...)
Thanks in advanced.
Best regards.
Seshen

Hi,

FIX: Change your Billing Cycle and Due Date!

There are many people angry about the change in billing due dates that have been set by AT&T recently. There is a way to get your due date back to where you want it but does require a little work on your part. NOTE: I am not an AT&T Employee, this is just advice from someone doing a little research! How the change works:First you will need to contact AT&T customer support (as this is just a customer to customer support forum so nobody here can make changes to your account). Let them know you want to change your billing cycle and due date. First month - you must complete your current billing cycleSecond month - you will have a prorated "short" cycle anywhere from 0-29 daysThird month - you will start with the billing cycle on the new date you select. There are a couple of other requirements below just so you are completely informed when talking to AT&T support.
Billing Cycle Change Requirements:
Changing your billing cycle is NOT an option in all service areas so contact support at 800-331-0500 to find out if this option is available in your service area.
Your billing cycle cannot be changed during the five days before or after the close of your current cycle. Your billing cycle cannot be changed if your account is in a delinquent status, or if the account will fall delinquent before the requested change date. If you have a payment arrangement set up, the payment arrangement must be made before the billing cycle is changed. If you have Autopay, you may see two Autopay drafts in one month due to the billing cycle change. Please keep in mind that when a billing cycle is changed you will see prorated charges to get all of the billing back on track with the new dates. Understanding that this does create an inconvenience for many people for the first 2 months you will be where you need to be after and back on track. If anyone has anything to add please do so and I will update my post.

Hi there
This is a great guide that will be very helpful to any of our customers who wish to change their bill cycle dates! I’d just like to thank you for posting this and add some further expectations.
The balance on the prorated second invoice shows as Past Due on the customer's third invoice, even if it is not. The cycle change process does not impact their account status and corrects itself on subsequent bills. With regards to prorated charges, the customer is provided a video bill with their next statement to help explain the charges.
Thanks!

I am trying to set up my outlook 2007 account on i pad and the process sticks on verifying. It would appear to be a problem with outgoing server and I have changed the port number but with no success.

I have just purchased an i pad 2 and am having trouble with the e-mail set up. Set up with wi-fi, i-cloud etc has worked fine but the i pad is recognising my outlook 2007 account details but is not verifying it. The trouble appears to be with the outgoing server and I have tried changing the port number, but to no avail! Also reset the account settings for holding messages on the server...help! As you can tell I'm not very techy and I'm desperate to get the bloody thing working as I'm going away on Tuesday! Any suggestions?

I had a similar issue and it was password case sensitive issue
