Hi All,
I would much appreciate ir if someone can help me. I have been having problems to enable my
webmin install to send email through other port other than port 25 (since my vps provider
has blocked that port).
I've been trying to change my postfix install to use port 465 or 587.

If someone can help me make sense of the error. Please do.. thanks.
I am trying to change postfix to use port 587 or 465 instead of port 25, since
my vps provider has blocked port 25.
Thank you.
Howdy,
It looks like you have a number of non-default settings in your Postfix main.cf file, one or more of those may be contributing to the problems you're having.
The errors I'm seeing in your logs there seem to suggest that there's a problem with this line in your main.cf:
smtp_sasl_password_maps = /etc/postfix/sasl/smtp.confThe "smtp_sasl_password_maps" parameter isn't something that's used on a typical Virtualmin system though, is that something you need?
-Eric
Hi Eric, thanks for the reply. I've reinstalled postfix with the original main.cf and master.cf files.
Because my ISP has block port 25 inbound and outbound. How do I configure postfix to use port 587 and 465 port?
Thanks Deddy
Howdy,
Well, you also don't want the original main.cf -- there's a few changes Virtualmin makes during the install process that you'd need. But we can come back to that part later :-)
If your ISP blocks port 25 -- no mail server on the Internet will be able to send you email., as they all use port 25 to communicate.
Also, for outgoing email -- you won't be able to send email directly to any mail servers on the Internet, though you could configure your mail server to relay outgoing emails through your ISP.
Before we get too far in tweaking your setup, I just wanted to make sure what I described above will work for you.
That is, if servers on the Internet can't send email to your server, is that okay?
-Eric
