smtpauth not over port 25

hello,

I want to use the mail forwarding option for mail servers over another port then 25. I have configurd it over the default port and all works well, but when I want to use, say 587 or 2525, the etrn delivery doesn't work.

Question: how can i use another port?

Greetz,

Do you mean trying to get our AUTH server (smtpauth.rollernet.us) to connect to a destination server on a port other than 25? We're not quite sure what you're trying to accomplish since AUTH, mail forwarding, and ETRN are all unrelated to each other.

Ok, maybe I am mixing something up...

What I mean is that I want a relay server for my incoming and outgoing mail over another port then port 25, for example port 587.

It is my assumption that I must use smtpauth.rollernet.us... and that the ETRN button pushes the mail to my mailserver... sorry for that.

Thanks,
Joost

Incoming and outgoing mail are treated separately.

For incoming mail, you set the MX records for your domain to our mail servers and use SMTP Redirection to redirect it to the designated server on an alternate port. This is configured at:
https://acc.rollernet.us/mail/

For outgoing mail submission (SMTP AUTH) you need to configure your mail server to submit messages to smtpauth.rollernet.us using an authorized account. It will accept submissions on several ports, including port 587. This is configured at:
https://acc.rollernet.us/mail/outbound.php
