Enable 587 port in Exim

[thewebhosting]

I wish to enable port 587 to use as an alternative for SMTP 25. Can anybody tell me where can I enable it using SSH?

Use WHM
Main >> Service Configuration >> Service Manager
Check enabled for exim on another port, then type in your port

Do not forget to open this port for you firewall if you are using one.

Hello,

Are you using any firewall?

If so make sure to enable the port 587 in the firewall.

Many thanks to rhenderson and hzJayJ!!

FYI, I am using configserver firewall and enabled port 587 from WHM and Firewall.

UPDATE::
Rebooted Server and works fine...

I did exactly this and is not working..

CSF has port 587 open.. I've even disabled it and still cannot connect in.
Also tried port 26 before 587

Add the following to the first text box in the Exim Advanced Editor:
daemon_smtp_ports = 25 : 587

Scroll down and save and confirm that Exim restarts without errors.

The additional instance of Exim running on port 587 won't be required.
