Subject: [IMail Forum] Modification of SMTP port in registry...
> I was trying to setup webshield on the same machine as Imail. As discussed
> below, I tried to make Imail listen to port 2525 instead of the standard
25
> so that my webshield can have it instead.
> As mentioned in Imail's manual, the modification of smtp port has to be
done
> from nt's registry. I added a string variable named 'Port' with the value
> '0x157D' (for port 2525) to
> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/CurrentControlSet/Services/SMTPD32/Parameters.
> However, upon testing using the command 'telnet <Imail server> 2525', I
> couldn't connect to it. As such, I changed the 'Port' value to '0x19' (for
> port 25) and test using the same command. Still, I couldn't connect.
> Finally, when I removed the String variable 'Port' from the registry, it
> works.

> Maybe someone can point to me where I go wrong.
