Hi guys. I just figured out how to change the port that sendmail listens on. You've got to edit /etc/sendmail.cf Find the line that says: #O DaemonPortOptions=Port=esmtp Uncomment the line, and change esmtp to the port number that you want sendmail to listen on. Save the file, and send a SIGHUP to sendmail: $ killall -HUP sendmail That's it. To test it out: $ telnet <host> <newportno> Also try `telnet <host> 25' to make sure that the old port is no longer in use. What is this good for you ask? Well, if I hear you ask, then I will tell :) Philip To subscribe / unsubscribe goto the site www.ilug-bom.org ., click on the mailing list button and fill the appropriate information and submit.
