Can Sendmail Listen to multiple ports???

[jonnybb1]

I have thelatest download from Redhat (RH9) with all the patches.

I am using an outside email forwarder because my ISP blocks port 25, 23, 80...

I am also using Webmin to administer the Linux box.

Can anyone tell me how to tell Sendmail to listen on ports 25 & 2525 at the same time. By the way, traffic on this box is minimal, except for the spam!!

IN the sendmail.cf file look for "SMTP daemon options"

You will see

O DaemonPortOptions=Name=MTA
O DaemonPortOptions=Port=587, Name=MSA, M=E

just change 587 to 2525.

give it a try it might work.

Yes, that is what I already did. I also need to listen to port 25 and 2525 so other internal notifications to the Linux box (on port 25) will work and I can receive incoming mail (on port 2525) since the ISP blocks port 25.

Thanx,

John

you must be create sendmail.cf in other name and change config line
O DaemonPortOptions=Port=smtp,Addr=0.0.0.0, Name=MTAge
to
O DaemonPortOptions=Port=xxxx,Addr=0.0.0.0, Name=MTAge
and start sendmail with command line
#sendmail -Cpath/to/newconfig -bd -q30m
