Best thing would be to configure the 3rd party software to use IIS SMTP on a port other than 25, and leave IMail on 25.
Maybe if you reveal what the 3rd party software is, someone can assist with the configuration of it.

I have this one server that runs my website and my mail services. I want to run some 3rd party software that does some processing of mail before it goes to Imail. The 3rd party software requires the use of IIS SMTP. So I have to have mail go to the IIS SMTP first, and have IIS SMTP forward the mail to Imail. In order for that to work, IIS SMTP must be listening on port 25 and IIS SMTP must send mail outgoing on port 26, in which case it is forwarding those messages to Imail SMTP which would need to listen on port 26. Again, all this is happening on one single Windows 2003 web edition server. As far as I can tell, with this setup, I have no SMTP service that will effectively let me have mail sent back out to the Internet, because I would need that SMTP service to send out on port 25. I hope that makes sense. So my question again is, is there a way to set Imail SMTP to listen on port 26 but send outgoing connections on port 25? And by all means, if anyone sees something here that I'm missing completely, let me know - I have a habit of making things more complicated than they need to be.

If my IIS SMTP is going to be set to a non-standard outgoing port, and my Imail SMTP is set to that same non-standard port, then how would I get my outgoing email to go through? Can Imail's SMTP be set to listen on one port but send outgoing on another? If not, then I'll have a problem getting email sent outside our network.

You shouldn't be using the IIS SMTP server unless it is specified as the mail host to send mail through in php.ini. As mentioned earlier, if you have anything using CDONTS, recode it to use CDOSYS or a 3rd party component such as ASPEmail if you want to use ASP or .NET to code. I'm sure there are alternatives in PHP and PERL as well.

I wouldn't have a problem keeping outbound connections on a non-standard port, except that my webserver uses it for my form-to-email pages on our website (my webserver is of course on the same machine as all these SMTP services too). So I guess if I wanted this to work now I would need to get my webserver to use Imail's SMTP service instead of IIS SMTP - but that is a topic for another thread (I think I saw a lot on how to get around this in the archives).

Yes it would cause a problem, as other mail servers would be listening on port 25, not 26. You would need to change it back to port 25 if this is going to be outbound to the internet.

I apologize for my ignorance, I thought you were referring to Sandy's response in this email thread regarding the location of the port setting (in which case what you've just explained was not mentioned already). So if I have to change the outbound connection port on IIS SMTP, would this cause problems if it becomes the SMTP service that actually sends my outgoing email to the Internet? Or is the inbound port being the standard port 25 the only thing that matters here?
