Hi All,
I would much appreciate ir if someone can help me. I have been having problems to enable my
webmin install to send email through other port other than port 25 (since my vps provider
has blocked that port).
I’ve been trying to change my postfix install to use port 465 or 587.

If someone can help me make sense of the error. Please do… thanks.
I am trying to change postfix to use port 587 or 465 instead of port 25, since
my vps provider has blocked port 25.
Thank you.
