Port Configuration

Post by lestatve »

Hi All,

I have to use non-standard ports. Port 25 is disabled so I am using Port 27 for incoming. I am using dynu.com to redirect the incoming mail to port 27 and I can see the incoming email hitting the mailEnable server.

I also have an hmailserver at the same IP address so I cannot set up my router with two rules using ports 587 and 143 so I am attempting to use 588 and 142, respectively.

When I try to configure the email client using these ports the email client cannot find the settings of the email account.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!
Les

So the issue is that your email client cannot connect? You would have to configure the email client with the specific ports, they would not find the settings automatically. To confirm that they should be able to connect you could telnet from outside your network to the server IP address, i.e.

telnet serverip 588
