Tips on Setting Up SMTP Server

    How to Change Port Numbers on Exchange

    1. Open the Exchange System Manager.

    2. Select the appropriate Exchange server and expand the tree in the left pane until you see SMTP folder under Protocols.

    3. Expand the SMTP folder to see the branch Default SMTP Virtual Server.


    4. Right click on the Default SMTP Virtual Server and select Properties.

    5. View the General tab and click on the Advanced button.

    6. Select the appropriate IP address and press the Edit button to change the port number to 26.

    7. Stop and re-start the Exchange 2000 SMTP server.

Note: If the Mailshell SMTP Gateway is on the same internal network as the Mail Transfer Agent, it is possible that the MTA will act as an open relay for unwanted messages. You can prevent this from happening by configuring your MTA to disallow open relaying of messages for the IP address associated with the SMTP Gateway.
