in master.cf file by default only the normal smtp service is enabled.

You can enable submission on port 587
Sometimes people enable smtps service (port 465), for some compatibility with some older clients (outlook express etc) although most new clients you can define the port.

my config looks like this:

smtps inet n - n - - smtpd -o smtpd_tls_wrappermode=yes -o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes

587 inet n - n - - smtpd -o smtpd_enforce_tls=yes -o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes




you are probably better just using port 587 (submission) for auth as
it's a common thing to expect.

for example, master.cf comes pre-setup for enabling smtp auth on the
submission port.

Hello


we have a in house mail system based on postfix. We would like to optionnaly integrate AUTH for SMTP


I wonder if it would be possible to
have SMTP/postfix listen on   port 25 and say port 26

with the following setttings
* port 25 does not require AUTH

* port 26 requires AUTH

( we would be restricting access to port 25 to given subnets )

Is it possible ?
Sincerely,

Fred
