Hello all i need to change the outgoing port used by postfix from 25 to 325.
I need to do this as my isp blocks outgoing port 25 however my incoming isp
forwards port 325
I know this has been discussed many times on many lists but i cannot get any of the posted solutions to work. Maybe i am encountering a different problem??
Here is a the simple break down need to send mail out on port 325
there is a firewall that is allowing all outbound traffic. As you can see from
the output of the telnet command below that i can access the email server i
wish to send mail to with port 325.
telnet mx1.canmail.org 325
Trying 66.244.200.225...
Connected to mx1.canmail.org.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 mx1.canmail.org ESMTP Postfix
*****I have tried changing this in master.cf but is does not work think smtpd is inbound anyway.
#smtp inet n - - - - smtpd
325 inet n - - - - smtpd
you are changing the port on which _your_ smtpd is listening. undo the
change.

you have renamed the smtp transport. now its name is "325". undo the
change.

since you renamed your smtp transport, postfix can't find it anymore!
put everything back to how you found it and use
relayhost = [boa.computerking.ca]:325
in your master.cf
*****I have tried adding this to my master.cf file but always get errors in my
mail.log like below
* smtp:[boa.computerking.ca]:325
fatal: /etc/postfix/master.cf: line 26: bad transport type:
smtp:[boa.computerking.ca]:325
stop doing random changes. read the docs.
