Having been accomodating about it in the past, the technical geniuses at Comcast have permanently blocked port 25, separating me (at my home office) from my employer's e-mail server.
What can be done on the server side to keep Postfix listening on 25 _and_ accept my connections on some other port? Is there a Postfix solution? iptables maybe?
I have had similar problems with some of my hosting clients. We configured postfix to also listen on port 2525 as follows:
In /etc/postfix/master.cf file, locate the lines that look like this:
smtp inet n - n - - smtpd -o cleanup_service_name=pre-cleanup
Add the following lines right after them:
2525 inet n - n - - smtpd -o cleanup_service_name=pre-cleanup
Then just do a 'postfix reload' and you should be in business.
That's exactly the type of solution I was hoping for! Thanks!
