OpenEMM Technical Support Forum

Hi,
I've installed Openemm on my SMTP server, and i am using this server to send emails only (not receiving). so i am going to close port 25 for public.
will this affect my openemm? and specially will it affect bounce table in openemm database, (currently any bounce will be inserted in this table), if i closed this port, will i break anything? if so, please guide me how to overcome this issue

Thanks for your attention

SMTP uses port 25 by default. Do you want so send your mails via a different port? Why?

Hi,
i dont want to use other port... i just want to close port 25 to public for security issues (relay is denied for public already) but our management wants me to close this port completely since we DONT receive any email on this SMTP server (we use it only for mailshots).
so again, my question if i closed this port, will this affect bounce management (i.e. bounce_tbl in mysql openemm DB)? if so, do you have any idea how to keep bounce_tbl working while port 25 is closed?

Thank you for your attention and help
