I answered that in another post. From: Ryan Finnesey [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, May 3, 2013 1:31 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Exchange 2013 Port Reference? Has Microsoft said why they will not make one available? From: Richard Stovall [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, May 2, 2013 9:13 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Re: Exchange 2013 Port Reference? You know, shoot me if I'm out of line here, but I couldn't help but read this thread and think: netstat -abon Wouldn't that at least help you discern from the ground what is going on? (That said, the original request for a port reference document seems extremely reasonable. The fact that one will not be made available is, well, bizarre.)

You spotted it, makes you responsible for the Wikipedia edit. Get crackin’. 8^) From: Frank R Wayne [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, May 01, 2013 4:02 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Exchange 2013 Port Reference? I saw that, too. It was kind of helpful, but the terminological errors make me leery. E.g.: “Port 475 is the Mail Delivery service and this is an SMTP server that takes email from the Hub Transport service and places in the mailbox databases on the local server where it is running.” There is no hub transport service in Exchange 2013. But thank you for the link! ☺ Frank Wayne Senior Systems Analyst, Collaboration Services From: Rick Berry [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, 01 May, 2013 14:31 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Exchange 2013 Port Reference? The ports are explained in a paragraph on Wikipedia … I found this useful myself. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_Mail_Transfer_Protocol Microsoft Exchange Server<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exchange_Server> 2013 has an SMTP service listening on ports 25, 587, 2525, 465 and 475 depending upon server role and function. Port 25 and 587 for server and client connectivity, and 25 or 2525 and 465 on the Mailbox role for accepting internal SMTP connections (from other Exchange Servers in the organization), where 25 is the Hub Transport service for receiving SMTP from other SMTP servers and 465 is the Hub Transport service for receiving proxied connections from clients connected to the CAS Frontend Transport service. On servers that have the Client Access role (CAS) and the Mailbox role installed on the same machine 25 and 2525 are in use - 25 for the Frontend Transport role (a CAS feature) and 2525 for the Hub Transport service rather than port 25 running for both Frontend Transport and Hub Transport services. Port 475 is the Mail Delivery service and this is an SMTP server that takes email from the Hub Transport service and places in the mailbox databases on the local server where it is running.

There is not one and Microsoft has said that there will not be one. And the answer to your question is “yes”. From: Frank R Wayne [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, May 1, 2013 3:12 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Exchange 2013 Port Reference? I’ve looked for one of these but found only posts asking for it. I wonder whether ports 465 and 475 have to be open across sites.
