I think you are mixing up free web site port 80 forwarding which is very common, with smtp email server port 25 forwarding which in the same sense is imposable. Dyndns.org does have a pay for email service which is a standard ISP type of email server service, and yes you can configure this fee based service to relay your domain name email to your FreeBSD MTA smtp email server on port 225. But this is the costly long way around to get your domain name email to your Freebsd email server. Now any good domain name register http://www.enom.com/Default.asp? has an user web based control panel to allow redirecting email accounts under your domain name to your email accounts at your ISP. This is the normal way of using your official registered domain name as your public email address and getting your email directly from your ISP email server. Then normally you would run fetchmail program on your FreeBSD box to retrieve your email from your ISP pop email accounts, dropping the email into sendmail or postfix user email boxes, or you can configure sendmail or postfix to authenticate login to your ISP email accounts directly over port 25 to retrieve email, or you can configure you email client program to get your email from your ISP pop server. Now if you are talking about something different, then please explain in detail with URL of site offering free port 25 email relay service. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of Alexander Liebau Sent: Friday, July 23, 2004 6:51 PM To: Barbish3@adelphia.net; Dick Davies; Steve Rieger Cc: FreeBSD Questions list Subject: AW: Questions in regards to Domain and port 80 being blocked yes you can :) there are some domainprovider who do portforwardings like www.domain.com:25 to yourdomain.dyndns.org:225.. this way you can receive emails like normal :) the problem would be sending mails since your ip changes every now and then... -----Ursprungliche Nachricht----- Von: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]Im Auftrag von JJB Gesendet: Samstag, 24.

And the answer is you have no way to doing that, so telling your mail server to listen on any other port is useless as all public email servers send email on port 25. There is no simple cost free way of side stepping your ISP's block on port 25 like you can do with port 80 redirects for web servers to get around the ISP port 80 block. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of Dick Davies Sent: Friday, July 23, 2004 6:09 PM To: Steve Rieger Cc: FreeBSD Questions list Subject: Re: Questions in regards to Domain and port 80 being blocked * Steve Rieger <steve@n2sw.com> [0717 21:17]: > You can setup postfix or qmail, or whatever mail server you want to on a > different port, a common one is 225.
