Hi, Regarding softlayer port 25 block, i want to relay my server in softlayer to my other server outside softlayer.. I found this Setup Server as a SmartHost on server 1 (softlayer) : set Exim Configuration Manager -> Smarthost support -> server 2 ip address.. on server 2 (outside softlayer) : Set Exim Configuration Manager" -> Trusted SMTP IP addresses & Backup MX hosts with server 1 ip address.. But how to setup port to relay, since port 25 are block ? Thank you...

  Hello :) You can configure SMTP on an alternate port such as 587 via the "Exim Mail Server (on another port)" service under: "WHM >> Service Configuration >> Service Manager" Then, when configuring your smart host, ensure you append the remote IP address with "::587" to ensure that port is utilized. EX:
  * IP::587
  Thank you.
