    Default SMTP Port

    How do I change the SMTP-port EXIM uses?

    My ISP blocks port 25, so I cannot use my server to send mail. I have to use my ISP's mailserver instead.

    How do I change the smtp-port of my server?

    WHM > Service Manager > exim on another port > check and specify another port. You mkust still have exim running on port 25 otherwise you will never receive remote email.

    Keeps on crashing:
    2005-04-20 20:14:52 socket bind() to port 10000 for address (any IPv4) failed: Address already in use: waiting before trying again

    Killing processes in netstat -natep | grep 10000 and restarting Exim did not help.

    Sounds like you've already got something bound to that port. Try a different one or shutdown whatever it is that you have bound to 10000 already.

    Very strange. It's working now when I use port 10950.

    The only difference is... the first time I had first set the SMTP-port in WHM and than I opened this port (10000) in APF.

    This time I first opened the port (10950) in APF and then changed the port in WHM from 10000 to 10950. It is now working.

    Thanks dude
