SMTP Relay on port 26

[webcave]

Hey,

I was playing around with the 15day trial version of cpanel and I really like it im planning on buying it. I just have one problem all my mail is relayed through my other location on port 26 rather then port 25 and i cant seem to figure out how i would be able to relay it i tried for hours.

So say im on this host IP

71.54.512.564

now i want to connect to this IP for mail

71.26.457.456:26

so i need outgoing connection for mail SMTP Relay/Route on port 26

any help would be appreciated
Thanks
Joe

You mean for sending email out as a client of the server?

WHM -> Service manager -> exim on another port

You can select port 26 there. Make sure you also do not have a firewall blocking 26 anywhere.

im not trying to do it on a per client basis, or as a client. My ISP blocks port 25 inbound and outbound and my IP is on the mail blacklist so i have a mail server hosted elsewhere and i need to connect to it on port 26 to send all the mail through it i hope you understand ill make a drawing to.

pretty much i need exim to send my mail through "smtp.domain.com:26" all of the mail any mail that gets sent to the server from clients or anything.

Here is the drawing note that server #2 does NOT have cpanel on it and it CAN send mail outgoing on port 25

Ok well i figured it out after a long while and well i should just help people in the future that may need this so heres how i did it open /etc/exim.conf go to the "ROUTERS CONFIGURATION" area. add this at the top

PHP Code:

send_to_gateway:
driver = manualroute
domains = !+local_domains
transport = remote_smtp
route_list = * smtp.domain.com:26 


now go to the "TRANSPORTS CONFIGURATION" and comment out the following lines

PHP Code:

 remote_smtp:
driver = smtp
interface = ${if exists {/etc/mailips}{${lookup{$sender_address_domain}lsearch{/etc/mailips}{$value}{}}}{}}
helo_data = ${if exists {/etc/mailhelo}{${lookup{$sender_address_domain}lsearch{/etc/mailhelo}{$value}{$primary_hostname}}}{$primary_ho stname}} 


now add this above

PHP Code:

remote_smtp:
  driver = smtp
  delay_after_cutoff = false
  no_retry_include_ip_address
  port = 26 


renember set xim.conf to read only now or cPanel will override it
should work great
