How to enable additional SMTP port number?

[Gunjan]

We can enable additional SMTP port number from server but make sure that you are logged in as root user.

In command prompt open Exim service configuration file in your favourite editor.

root@server [~]# pico /etc/exim.conf

For example we are enabling port number 26 as additional SMTP port number.

Add following line in exim.conf file

daemon_smtp_ports = 25 : 26
acl_smtp_rcpt = check_recipient
acl_smtp_data = check_message

Restart Exim service.

If you are not familiar with shell access, then you can enable alternative port on cPnale server as.

Login to WHM as root -->> select Service Configuration -->> Service Manager.

Here search for exim on another port and enter your new alternative port in text box corresponding to Allow exim to listen on port
Also you will need to select check box to enable this new port.
Next, if you have any firewall installed on server, then you will need to enable new incoming and outgoing port under firewall.
