Sendmail.cf Port setting...

[arca1]

Ok... here the setup... I have one box running sendmail that is listening on another port (port 2225).

I have another box that needs to relay mail to that box. But when it sends mail it sends it using port 25... I looked at the sendmail.cf and looked around the internet for an answer, but nothing yet... I saw this setting (#O DaemonPortOptions=Port=esmtp) and changed it to specify a port... but it did not work. Is there a way to set what port to send mail to?

Thanks for any input on this.

Well not off the top of may head, but you might try to redirect the connection with ipchains.
This might be similar to a squid like rule.
ie:

ipchains -A input -j REDIRECT 2225 -i <interface name> -p tcp -s <ipofrelay> 25 -d <ipofmailserv>

Let me know if it works

The funny thing is, you answered another question that I once had about ipchains :) LOL.
Unfortunetly, this is something that I do not want to do with this box (work contraints).


Thanks for the info, it was helpful :)
