    I've setup ISPCONFIG using till tutorial Perfect Server for Centos 7, but Postfix is not sending email from my Local Server connected to Verizon Cable company fios router. SInce the cable company has blocked port 25, I opened port 587 & 465 on the router and followed till tutorial to uncomment smtps & submission on postfix master.cf, but it looks like postfix is still using the blocked port 25 and refusing to use 587 or 465 looking at the maillog below
    Code:
    Mar 17 23:31:02 server1 postfix/smtp[4255]: 5D809415F8C1: to=<[email protected]>, relay=127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1]:10024, delay=21, delays=0.42/0.01/0/21, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 2.0.0 from MTA(smtp:[127.0.0.1]:10025): 250 2.0.0 Ok: queued as 2D165415F8CA)
    Mar 17 23:31:02 server1 postfix/qmgr[4211]: 5D809415F8C1: removed
    Mar 17 23:31:21 server1 postfix/smtp[4224]: connect to mx2.hotmail.com[65.55.37.104]:25: Connection timed out
    Mar 17 23:31:21 server1 postfix/smtp[4222]: connect to alt1.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com[64.233.186.26]:25: Connection timed out
    Mar 17 23:31:21 server1 postfix/smtp[4226]: connect to mta6.am0.yahoodns.net[66.196.118.33]:25: Connection timed out
    This is the output of traceroute to port 587 & 465
    Code:

    Port port 587 & 465 are used for incoming emails, not outgoing. If your access prvider blocks port 25, then you have to use a relayhost to send emails trough, e.g. the mailservers from verizon. You can set the relayhst and username / password (if required) in ISPConfig under System > Server config > mail. Just as a sidenote, even if verizon wont block port 25, their IP is probly listed on balcklists for as dynmic or access provider IP. These blacklists are used be the spamfilters of most mail servers, so even if you would be able to send a mail, it will get blocked on the receiver side. So the only working solution to run a mailserver at home or in office is to relay the emails trough a server that is in a datacenter with a fixed IP or trough the smtp servers of your acccess provider.
