Add something such as this to master.cf, the port in this example being 10025, which you'd need to change in the SquirrelMail config too. localhost:10025 inet n - n - - smtpd -o mynetworks=127.0.0.0/8 -o content_filter= -o smtpd_client_restrictions= -o smtpd_helo_restrictions= -o smtpd_sender_restrictions= -o smtpd_recipient_restrictions=permit_mynetworks,reject -o smtpd_data_restrictions= -o smtpd_end_of_data_restrictions= -o smtpd_restriction_classes= There's a heap of other things you can add to this to tweak performance as well, but this is OT here. Using port 25 is OK, as long as you make sure no one else can use it as an open relay, but moving your webmail traffic to another port like this is better. Also, be careful/conscious about settings such as "-o content_filter=", since that could allow an attacker using a compromised account to send spam and/or virus-laden emails from your system. -- Paul Lesniewski SquirrelMail Team Please support Open Source Software by donating to SquirrelMail! http://squirrelmail.org/donate_paul_lesniewski.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Cloud Services Checklist: Pricing and Packaging Optimization This white paper is intended to serve as a reference, checklist and point of discussion for anyone considering optimizing the pricing and packaging model of a cloud services business.
