I'm sure I'm missing something really simple here, but I have been banging my head against the wall for a few hours already.
Under 'Webmin' -> 'Webmin Configuration' -> 'Sending Emails' I am trying to configure webmin to use the following setting: "Send email using Via SMTP to remote mail server". I have entered the server I want to use 'smtp.example.com' but I need it to use a custom port (123) and not 25.
I have tried entering: 'smtp.example.com:123' and some other variations but just get the error "Missing or un-resolvable SMTP server hostname". If someone could show me the correct formatting it would be really appreciated.
Cheers
Howdy,
Jamie says that this is a missing feature on the Sending Mail page - you can't yet set the SMTP port.
However, it can be changed by editing the file /etc/webmin/mailboxes/config and adding the line :
smtp_port=123
He will make it possible to set this via the UI in the next release of Webmin.

Hi Eric,
Thanks for responding. I have added the line to the /etc/webmin/mailboxes/config file as suggested. It seems to have fixed the initial error. However I am now getting another error:
"Send Test Email
Sending message from xxx@yyy.com to aaa@bbb.com .. .. sending failed : SMTP command failed : . "
I'm guessing it is because the SMTP server requires SSL. Is there another line I can add to the config to enable this?
I know I have the firewall open to allow the connection, as one of my hosted sites already uses the same credentials to send emails.
Sending message from fuuuu@barrrrrr.de to baaaaar@fuuuuu.de .. .. sending failed : SMTP command mail from: fuuuu@barrrrrr.de failed : 530 5.7.57 SMTP; Client was not authenticated to send anonymous mail during MAIL FROM , line 4.
Need TLS
Yes, TLS is needed.
