    some of my client's port 25 blocked by their ISP. So, i want to add one more listen port to postfix. What's the best way?

    1. can I change postfix conf file manually? master.conf? how? or,
    2. I use ispconfig's firewall, can i also use iptables to redirect the additional port to 25?

    Thanks.

    ammm... what I want to do is, setup another port to redirect to port 25. Not the one smtps.

    If I use ISPConfig's firewall, can I also setup the redirect just like iptables?

    Code:
    iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 9925 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 25

    All you have to do is go to /etc/postfix/master.cf and uncomment
    lines about submission and smtps.

    Then you will be able use port:

    25 - also with TLS Enctyption
    465 - also with SSL Encryption
    587 also with TLS Encryption

    Don't forget allow these port in firewall if you use dome...

    # Postfix master process configuration file. For details on the format
    # of the file, see the master(5) manual page (command: "man 5 master").
    #
    # Do not forget to execute "postfix reload" after editing this file.

    SMTPs SSL/TLS secure?

    Hi,

    I was wondering if someone could help me verify the security of smtps. I have configured Postfix (with ispconfig2) to use pop3s, Imaps and smtps port 645. The maillog shows they are all using TLS and thunderbird picks up the cert for (server.com:465). When I use wireshark however smtps is using TCP not TLS. Is there something beyond my understanding going on? STARTTLS maybe?

    Thanks,

    Scott
