Local port 25 Doesn't Work.... but 26 does. Any idea?
|
|
|
| I am messing around with setting up the default SMTP server on my
WinXP Pro machine.
I have the SMTP setup like this:
IP Address TCP Port
(All Unassigned) 25
(All Unassigned) 26
telnet localhost 25
Connecting To localhost...Could not open connection to the host, on
port 25: Con
nect failed
telnet localhost 26
220 computername Microsoft ESMTP MAIL Service, Version: 6.0.2600.218
0 ready at Mon, 13 Sep 2004 11:51:52 -0500
I thought that maybe some other service was using port 25, so I did a
"netstat -an" which showed:
Proto Local Address Foreign Address State
TCP 0.0.0.0:25 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING
TCP 0.0.0.0:26 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING
I then stopped the SMTP Service through IIS, and both of those entries
went away.
Can anyone think of why this would be not working right? I am lost.
Can anyone think of why I can't get it to work on the default port?

Or if testing outside your network, does your ISP block port 25?

| Dumb dumb dumb.
After wasting days trying to figure this out, I find out that port 25
is being blocked by the newest version of McAfee 8.0, which was rolled
out to my machine w/o my knowledge a few weeks ago using SMS.
At least I'm not crazy.
