Hi Nelson, Yes, AFAIK, you can do this. I am using a different MTA, but the result is the same.
You setup ASSP in front of it (configure ASSP to listen to port 25), then you set your MTA to another port (say, 2525). ASSP listens to everything coming in from the big bad world, sorts it out, then forwards the "good" messages to port 2525 (your real MTA port). Just read the docs for your specific MTA. There must a switch allowing you to start SMTP service on a port different than the (25) default. That's pretty much it !
