You didn't get the point here. I want it to listen on port 25. But when
it transmits (or relays) mail, it uses a port above 1023. I wan't to
restrict this relaying port range.
For example, proftpd has a patch that will restrict the port ranges
allowed for passive mode. So I can safely leave these open, and block
off the rest. I want something similar for an MTA.
Does this help?
Anyway, I'll be on vacation for the next five days, so might not be in
a position to
