Not to expose my ignorance too much... but I didn't know that I had to leave something listening on port 25 - thanks for letting me know I probably would've just changed it. http://support.ipswitch.com/kb/IM-19981118-DD01.htm just mentions that you can change it, not to make sure something is listening - though the article refers to a virus scanner on 25.
I was asking if there were any issues if you change from 25 to 26. I saw one article that said that the SMTP monitoring service in IMAIL didn't work properly when switched (I didn't see a solution posted either). I was looking for issues along those lines, Imail issues, clients that don't play well on a port other than 25, etc. Telling all my users will be my problem with its own issues, but those were not the issues I was concerned about. I'm still wondering if anyone is willing to share how they are handling this.

"All the users" is way too ambiguous for anyone to respond to that. Changing "all the users" in a 250-user office is different from "all the users" in a 25-users-per-domain, 10-domain hosting environment. You're going to know best. --Sandy ------------------------------------ Sanford Whiteman, Chief Technologist Broadleaf Systems, a division of Cypress Integrated Systems, Inc. e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SpamAssassin plugs into Declude! http://www.mailmage.com/download/software/freeutils/SPAMC32/Release/ To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/ --- [This E-mail scanned for viruses by Declude Virus] --- [This E-mail scanned for viruses by Declude Virus] To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
