This post is an extension from my first post of PPTP Server Installation in CentOS 5 whereby the RPM file pptpd-1.3.4-1.rhel5.1.i386.rpm is no longer available in http://poptop.sourceforge.net/yum/stable/packages/ so I decided to share how to build a RPM for pptpd 1.3.4 in CentOS 5.3 i386 distribution. This box I am going to build this RPM is based on XenServer virtual machine (VM) as below: -
CentOS 5.3 i386
kernel-xen-2.6.18-128.el5
ppp-2.4.4-2.el5

This setup will help you to configure Postfix to listen to an additional SMTP port. This enables your SMTP client to access your Postfix SMTP server using other port number when your ISP is blocking the access to any server listening on SMTP port 25.
1. Edit this file /etc/postfix/master.cf and add an entry like below causes Postfix to listen to port 2525: -
2525 inet n - n - - smtpd
2. Then, restart your Postfix service as below: -
service postfix restart
Note: The above was tested on Postfix 2.3.3-2 in CentOS 5
If you found these helpful, please contribute to help:
