  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

How to change the SMTP outgoing port from 25 to 26

New Pleskian
Good day.

i want to ask, how can i change the outgoing SMTP port?. I want to change it to 26, since 25 is a port that some Internet Service Providers block

Thanks.
 
Are you really sure about this? If you change the port of your SMTP-Server you'll likely cannot send and receive E-Mails.
 
Hello,

Please check the following article:
https://kb.odin.com/en/837

==================

First a new entry will need to be created in xinetd for the alternate port:

cd /etc/xinetd.d

cp smtp_psa smtp_psa_p26

Next the entry that was just created needs to be modified:

vi smtp_psa_p26

Make the first line say “service smtp_p26” and save the file.

Next edit the services for the system to include the newly created one:

vi /etc/services

smtp_p26 26/tcp mail
smtp_p26 26/udp mail

After editing this, just restart xinetd and the server should be listening on port 26. A quick way to verify the changes took effect can be done using this command:

netstat -lpn|grep 26

NOTE: Don’t forget to make sure port 26 is open in the firewall.
==================

Thank you,
