You're  not,  believe  us.  If you could bind two services to the same
TCP/IP address and same TCP/IP port, you would be undermining the very
fabric of TCP/IP.

It   is,   however,   possible   to  START  two  services  in  such  a
scenario--that   is,   they  look  like  they've  started  in  Control
Panel--without  actually  BINDING the services. This means that, while
both are running, only one will actually respond to client requests.

You  still  haven't said what you are/were trying to do. Note that if,
as  some  have  surmised,  you  were  using  CDONTS,  CDONTS  does not
communicate  with  MS  SMTP  on  port  25, but rather over COM. So, in
certain  situations,  MS  SMTP  can  be STARTED and respond to CDONTS,
though not respond to port 25 requests.

> they suggested to change our IMail service to easymail

They  suggested  to...what?  I think you mean that they suggested that
you  use  EasyMail  against IMail, rather than CDONTS against MS SMTP.
Note  also  that  CDONTS  is obsolete, and has been replaced by CDOSYS
which can talk directly with IMail without MS SMTP even being started.

>  or change the port number, which one do you guys recomend?

Makes no dif, try 26.
