# Allow internal network devices to send email with insecure connection
|
|
|
|
[TOC]
|
|
|
|
## Purpose
|
|
|
|
If you have some network devices like printer, firewall, and they need to
|
|
send out notification or report email with insecure smtp connection, please
|
|
try steps below to get it working without breaking default security settings.
|
|
|
|
## Open additional smtp port in Postfix
|
|
|
|
Since iRedMail-0.9.3, with default iRedMail settings, port 25 is used for
|
|
postscreen service, all clients are forced to submit through port 587 with
|
|
STARTTLS for secure connection.
|
|
|
|
To support network devices which doesn't support STARTTLS and SSL, we can ask
|
|
Postfix to listen on additional port for smtp service by appending below line
|
|
in `/etc/postfix/master.cf` (on Linux/OpenBSD) or
|
|
`/usr/local/etc/postfix/master.cf` (on FreeBSD):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
2525 inet n - - - - smtpd
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`2525` is the new port number for smtp service, you're free to change it to
|
|
your favourite port number.
|
|
|
|
Restarting Postfix service is required. After restarting, you can check whether
|
|
it's listening on this new port:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
netstat -ntlp | grep 2525
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now it's turn to update your network devices to send email through this port
|
|
number, without STARTTLS and SSL.
|
|
|
|
!!! note
|
|
|
|
SMTP authentication is still required to send email.
|
|
|
|
## Update firewall rules to deny access from external network
|
|
|
|
It's dangerous to expose this new port number to external network, so you must
|
|
update your firewall rules to deny access from external network to this new
|
|
port number.
