The inbound one is called ISMT P and it listens on port 25. Nothing special about it. The outbound one is called SMTP, it li stens on port 8025, but never gets any incoming mail. It uses IPMAILER ALL to send all outgoing m ail to our cMTA (Corporate Mail Transfer Agent). I have two so that ISMTP can access DNS while SMTP does NOT. Details a wh ile back on this list. I didn't do this for performance, but I don't see why you could not have IS MPT1,2,3,... all listening on port 25.
