Good morning - I'm testing EFA to see it it meets my organization's needs. I'm well versed in Postfix, so I can ssh in and make these changes manually, but is there a way to add a non-standard port to the transport mail server when creating the transport setting? I tried with just a : and the port number, but that doesn't work.

Personally, I have no problem manually adding the info via ssh - but I can't imagine I'm the only site that needs this, and making it "easier" for those not as familiar with ssh could be useful.

Thanks!

Hello Danita,

Give me some time to research this for you.

I know you will also need to open up the port in the firewall as the firewall is active on E.F.A.

We can certainly add a config option once we figure out how this is done.

Okay - but this is not so that EFA listens on a different port - this is so EFA delivers to a different port - it looks like this is the transport file:

mydomain.com smtp:[192.168.1.1]:26

for example. Then mail that is destined for mydomain.com would be SENT to 192.168.1.1 on port 26 rather than on port 25

Thanks for pointing out the firewall though - I was trying to connect to mysql from my Mac, and kept getting refused, even though I had set mysql to allow from my IP address - I probably just need to have the firewall allow me through!

Ah, I see.

Looks like you need to do this in main.cf, not transports

relayhost = [192.168.1.1]:26

If you have multiple domains, you would need to do it in transports if they all receive mail from different locations though - it's working fine btw!

Just to clarify for our readers...

you need a relayhost entry in main.cf to specify the port

and

you need an entry in transports as well

You can have multiple entries
