Environment
SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 10
Situation
How to change the default SMTP port (25) for Postfix
Resolution
Launch a terminal, become the root user and edit the master.cf file located in /etc/postfix directory:
su -vi /etc/postfix/master.cf
Look for the line:
smtpinetn-n--smtpd
replace "smtp" with the port number that postfix should listen on, save the file and restart the postfix.
/etc/init.d/postfix restart
Additional Information
Notes:On the linux server, by default, postfix is running and listens on SMTP port 25. Postfix is used to send server related messages to the root user. If GroupWise Internet Agent (GWIA) need to be installed on the same linux server, you must change the listen port for one of the SMTP daemons (Postfix or GWIA) to something other than the default (port 25) so that both can co-exist on the same server.
