MailMonitor for SMTP - Windows NT/2000/2003: changing the SMTP port used by the SMTP mail server or by Microsoft Exchange
Changing the SMTP port used by the SMTP mail server or by Microsoft Exchange so that MailMonitor for SMTP - Windows NT/2000/2003 can be installed involves editing the services file C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC\SERVICES.
What to do
You will need to edit the services file C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC\SERVICES and find the line:
smtp 25/tcp mail #Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
Edit this line, altering the section 25/tcp. Replace the 25 with a port number that is not used on that server. For example:
smtp 24/tcp mail #Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
Save the file. Restart the server to implement the new settings.
Check that your mail server is listening on the new port.
