Apparently we misunderstood each other magnificently. How many hosts (or better said domains) the server is hosting does not matter. So your problem is, that you have a server which you want to use to send mails. The server is already running and has a static ip. The only trouble is that you can't connect to that server on port 25, because Sprint is firewalling outgoing port 25. In that case the solution is definitely to use Port 587 (submission) to connect to your server. You only need to tell your server to open port 587 and only allow mail submission through that port, if the user authenticates. With Postfix the following lines in master.cf would take care of that: submission inet n - n - - smtpd -o smtpd_sasl_auth_enable=yes -o smtpd_recipient_restrictions=permit_sasl_authenticated,reject This would force users to authenticate. Then you only have to change the setting in your mailclient to connect to port 587. If you want to be thorough, you could add TLS to the mandantory options. I assume that you already have sasl set up to authenticate when you submit mails to your server. -- Sandy List replies only please!
