My reasons are complex and unimportant, however I have a servlet that accepts mail on Port 25 from the public internet, scans the contents, and forwards the mail to another server.
Since I only have one server at my disposal I can configure my server to handle this mail as long as I have the ability to move sendmail to another port.
Arbitrarily, I chose Port 2525 on which to run sendmail exclusively. I realize that if I do this, I won't be able to send mail out from the server, but that's fine.
I can see where, in the sendmail.mc file, I can config sendmail to listen on OTHER ports (like 587) but I can't for the life of me figure out how to configure sendmail to NOT listen on Port 25. Has anyone tried this before and/or are there step by step instructions on what to do?
Googling has provided no answers thus far...
