I have setup postfix+mailman on my debian server and i have an issue with postfix submission port. My ISP blocks SMTP on port 25 to prevent *spams and i must to use submission port (587). I have uncomment the following line from master.cf (/etc/postfix/) but nothing happens.

submission inet n - - - - smtpd

This is my mail logs file when i try to invite a user to mailman list

  • Are you intending to receive emails on this server or only to send them? If you are only sending, where do bounces and replies go? Port 25 is fairly fundamental to the function of a mail server. – Ladadadada Nov 06 '12 at 10:39

Submission has nothing to do with sending mail to non-standard ports.

For this, configure a relayhost that connects to the appropriate remote IP and port.

For example:

relayhost = [your.isp.relay.host]:submission

And then configure outgoing SASL and TLS as documented here:

http://www.postfix.org/SASL_README.html#client_sasl http://www.postfix.org/TLS_README.html#client_tls

Submission port is for clients to submit messages to MTA. You have to talk to your provider to open port 25 for you.

After changing master.cf you must reload Postfix with a command such as postfix reload.
