Well, now you're changing the problem description, so yes, the answers change. If you want this SMTP server to accept email from a non-VM based client, then yes you either need to run it on port 25, or have the client send it on that alternate port if it is capable. It is no longer only an outgoing server, but is an incoming server. (and if they end up forwarding off VM, it is both incoming and outgoing) > >2-The manual says that MaxMailBytes is the maximum number of bytes to accept >on a TCP connection.

There is no outgoing restriction. An outgoing-only server only accepts email via BSMTP from the spool. /ahw > >Thanks. > > >On Thu, 8 Mar 2007 23:12:42 -0500 Alan Altmark said: >>On Thursday, 03/08/2007 at 10:39 EST, "A.
