- - Problem port 25 (http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/showthread.php?t=54981)

I've followed the tutorial perfect server ubuntu 11.04, and everything is working pretty good, But when I send a message or receive from my external account it doesn't work, because my ISP is blocking the port 25, so, I went to no-ip webpage and add an "alternate smtp" and "reflector", now I can receive message using the port 587, but when I setup the main.cf to use auth sasl, like no-ip said, sending message doesn't work. here is the setup for smtp:
Use the following settings:

Outgoing SMTP Server: smtp-auth.no-ip.com
Port Number: 3325 or 587
Username: yourdomain.com@noip-smtp
Password: <Set on No-IP.com, see above.
Defaults to your No-IP account password>

/etc/postfix/main.cf:
smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes
relayhost = [mail.isp.example]
# Alternative form:
# relayhost = [mail.isp.example]:submission
smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd

/etc/postfix/sasl_passwd:
# destination credentials
[mail.isp.example] username:password
# Alternative form:
# [mail.isp.example]:submission username:password

What else do I need to do?

Thanks

receiving port 25 easy workaround

I found easy solution for my receiving problem (blocked port 25) from
http://www.bergek.com/2007/11/29/mak...econdary-port/

to shell (as su)

Quote:

# iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 587 -j REDIRECT --to-ports 25

Inspired by DydDNS discounts, I took 1y for EmailGateway

Quote:

Zone Service
example.com Dyn Email Gateway to example.com:587

Also I made MX settings on domain DNS

Quote:

MX @ mx1.mailhop.org
MX @ mx2.mailhop.org

Now I should find out how to add that to ISPConfig firewall-script (that applies also on reboot...) - anyone with good advice, let me know (I found only quote old howtoforge-posts...)

Could solve permanent issue based on mini-howto long time back:

Now I can receive and send my emails w/o ISP issues (seems that outgoing port not yet problem for them even if told so.....)

now I needed smtp-relay as well

My ISP closed sending port after few trials, so now I added relay as well.

Got it running w/o pain based on
http://www.howtoforge.com/forums/sho...4&postcount=18

I am using one of my (new/extra) ISP-email-accounts just to login to ISP's smtp (as relay i.e normal ports OK).....

Now now both receiving and sending working like a charm for all server1-accounts :D
