I figured out how to change the port on postfix but i read that i have to change it in spamassassin also what file do i do this in? My isp blocks port 25. Ubuntu perfect LTS server setup is what i used . I kept getting this error Aug 30 21:34:07 serv1 postfix/smtp[6212]: connect to mail.charter.net[209.225.8.224]: Connection timed out (port 25) Aug 30 21:34:07 serv1 postfix/smtp[6212]: 514AA1204AA: to=<[email protected]>, relay=none, delay=91909, status=deferred (connect to mail.charter.net[209.225.8.224]: Connection timed out) actually i cannot send or recieve so i guess i messed it up somewhere
If you use the perfect setup together with ISPConfig, you dont have to change anything in the spamassassin configuration.
You don't need to change anything for SpamAssassin as it is called by procmail recipes, so it doesn't matter on which port you run Postfix. And SpamAssassin isn't called when you send mails, only when you receive mails. So your problem must be something else. What's in your mail log?
this just repeats over and over and why does it say web1/web2 @example.com Sep 1 16:05:48 serv1 postfix/qmgr[4795]: 514AA1204AA: from=<[email protected]>, size=686, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Sep 1 16:10:48 serv1 postfix/smtp[17959]: connect to mail.charter.net[209.225.8.224]: read timeout (port 265) Sep 1 16:10:48 serv1 postfix/smtp[17959]: 514AA1204AA: to=<[email protected]>, relay=none, delay=245310, status=deferred (connect to mail.charter.net[209.225.8.224]: read timeout) Sep 1 16:22:28 serv1 postfix/qmgr[4795]: 190AE1200D7: from=<[email protected]>, size=688, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Sep 1 16:22:59 serv1 postfix/smtp[18173]: connect to mail.charter.net[209.225.8.224]: Connection timed out (port 265) Sep 1 16:22:59 serv1 postfix/smtp[18173]: 190AE1200D7: to=<[email protected]>, relay=none, delay=59798, status=deferred (connect to mail.charter.net[209.225.8.224]: Connection timed out) Sep 1 16:55:48 serv1 postfix/qmgr[4795]: A7EC41203C8: from=<[email protected]>, size=680, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Sep 1 16:55:48 serv1 postfix/qmgr[4795]: B4A9C12051D: from=<[email protected]>, size=684, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Sep 1 17:00:48 serv1 postfix/smtp[18592]: connect to mail.charter.net[209.225.8.224]: read timeout (port 265) Sep 1 17:00:48 serv1 postfix/smtp[18593]: connect to mail.charter.net[209.225.8.224]: read timeout (port 265) Sep 1 17:00:48 serv1 postfix/smtp[18593]: B4A9C12051D: to=<[email protected]>, relay=none, delay=62631, status=deferred (connect to mail.charter.net[209.225.8.224]: read timeout) Sep 1 17:00:48 serv1 postfix/smtp[18592]: A7EC41203C8: to=<[email protected]>, relay=none, delay=63845, status=deferred (connect to mail.charter.net[209.225.8.224]: read timeout)
Is mail.charter.net your server? Then run on this server: netstat -tap and post the result here. Is your server in a NAT enviroment, then make sure that you forwarded port 25 from your router to your server and that your provider does not block port 25.
nope that is the server my smtp server is trying to connect to but everytime it just times out . my isp does block port 25 thats why i want to change the port ... i changed it in the master.cf to 265 on this lines 265 inet n - n - - smtpd here is the netstat -tap output tcp 0 0 *:smtp *:* LISTEN 1110/master tcp 0 0 *:mysql *:* LISTEN 3756/mysqld tcp 0 0 *:81 *:* LISTEN 4090/ispconfig_http tcp 0 0 *:ftp *:* LISTEN 25419/proftpd: (acc tcp 0 0 serv1.xg3d.com:domain *:* LISTEN 22109/named tcp 0 0 localhost.locald:domain *:* LISTEN 22109/named tcp 0 0 localhost.localdoma:953 *:* LISTEN 22109/named tcp 0 0 serv1.xg3d.com:44887 mail.charter.net:smtp ESTABLISHED1115/smtp tcp 0 0 serv1.xg3d.com:44890 mail.charter.net:smtp ESTABLISHED1120/smtp tcp 0 0 serv1.xg3d.com:44889 mail.charter.net:smtp ESTABLISHED1119/smtp tcp 0 0 serv1.xg3d.com:44888 mail.charter.net:smtp ESTABLISHED1121/smtp tcp6 0 0 *:imaps *:* LISTEN 3630/couriertcpd tcp6 0 0 *op3s *:* LISTEN 3665/couriertcpd tcp6 0 0 *:smtp *:* LISTEN 1110/master tcp6 0 0 *op3 *:* LISTEN 3645/couriertcpd tcp6 0 0 *:imap2 *:* LISTEN 3610/couriertcpd tcp6 0 0 *:www *:* LISTEN 4193/apache2 tcp6 0 0 *:ssh *:* LISTEN 3928/sshd tcp6 0 0 ip6-localhost:953 *:* LISTEN 22109/named tcp6 0 0 *:https *:* LISTEN 4193/apache2 tcp6 0 1284 serv1.xg3d.com:ssh 24-178-15-158.dhcp:3279 ESTABLISHED779/0 tcp6 0 0 serv1.xg3d.com:ssh 24-178-15-158.dhcp:3278 ESTABLISHED774/sshd: [email protected] tcp6 0 0 serv1.xg3d.com:ssh 24-178-15-158.dhcp:3285 ESTABLISHED810/sshd: [email protected] i can telnet to my server over port 265 and get a response like the one listed in the tutorial
I don't see anything running on port 265 in your netstat output. Also, are you sure your ISP isn't blocking port 265? What's in /etc/postfix/master.cf? Did you restart Postfix?
I know it works i can telnet into the server over that port from a remote computer... i changed it in the /etc/services file this is the master.cf # # Postfix master process configuration file.

okay got i have no clue what i did but i can send/recieve mail locally but not to external mail address' i get this error(below). Also i cannot login in outlook express without web1_jeff (email is [email protected]) and cannot send mail at all same user and password does not work this error is sys log
Seems as if your server has a problem with name resolution. What's in /etc/resolv.conf? You must use the user name (e.g. web1_jeff) in Outlook Express, not the email address or anything else.
Change it to Code: nameserver 145.253.2.75 nameserver 193.174.32.18 nameserver 194.25.0.60 and try again.

it appears that everytime i change the postfix smtp port it now tries to send mail to the same port on remote servers instead of a blanket send that covers all ports. is there a fix for this
What's the output of Code: updatedb locate resolv.conf ? I think there could be a second resolv.conf in Postfix' chroot jail.
locate [email protected]:~# locate resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf.bak /usr/share/man/man5/resolv.conf.5.gz /var/spool/postfix/etc/resolv.conf [email protected]:~# from what i see all the files in /var/spool/postfix/etc match the ones in their repsective places in this directory is hosts localtime nsswitch.conf resolv.conf services
