[nycbug-talk] change sendmail port from 25 to something else

[Mikel King]

 I know somewhere down the line I'll regret this but...Assuming that you 
are running FreeBSD you should be able to do the following;

In /etc/mail you will find a lot of neat info regarding mc and cf files. 
copy the freebsd.mc to <HOSTNAME>.mc and add/modify the following line:
DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=nn, Name=MTA') DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=587, Name=MSA, 
M=E')
Remember to change nn to whatever port you'd like to run on...

Now  run 'make cf' which will build your new <HOSTNAME>.cf but not 
install it as such. For that you must run 'make install' and HUP your 
daemon.

You can read more about this stuff @: 
http://www.sendmail.org/~ca/email/doc8.12/cf/m4/tweaking_config.html

Also please take the time to read the Makefile in /etc/mail as these 
directions are different for each version of sendmail and fBSD.

How do you spell cooperation? Pessimists use
each other, but optimists help each other.
Collaboration feeds your spirit, while
competition only stokes your ego. You'll
find the best way to get along.
