Running SMTP on multiple ports (postfix)

[eKg]

Hello all;

As with most large ISP's, my ISP filters port 25 (SMTP). As a web hosting provider, I felt that my customers should be able to use my email server to send email, as well as receive it. It's kind of a value added feature

So, here's how I did it:

Open /etc/postfix/master.cf and add the following line:

587       inet  n       -       n       -       -       smtpd

This is for postfix only. Restart postfix and your done. This doesn't really have anything to do with ISPConfig, however maybe it should be an option...?

EDIT: I forgot to tell you, SMTP will listen on ports 25 and 587

This is a great solution but when i try to send an email using 587 port, no auth is required and the server become an open relay.
Any idea?

Yes, i tried to send a email from my network.
Running telnet localhost 587 this is the output:

debian:/etc/postfix# telnet localhost 587
Trying 127.0.0.1...

I tried to use this tip from a remote pc with an outside ip but it doesn't work.
When I send an email, i can't authenticate me using port 587.

Looks fine.

What's the exact error message? What's in the mail log? Did you enable "Server requires authentication." in your email client?

Looking mail.log, when i use port 587, i have this error:

Aug 3 16:14:58 debian postfix/smtpd[3759]: connect from unknown[192.168.0.4]
