VPS & Dedicated Hosting: Modify Exim Ports
Many ISPs (Internet Service Providers) block port 25. So, it is useful to have an alternate port available to use. Port 26 is open on all of Bluehost's shared servers, so you may already have it configured by default. Otherwise, to open an additional port or if you want to change the port:
- Log in to the WHM by going to yourdomain.com/whm in a browser. Replace yourdomain.com with your domain.
- Once you get to the login page, enter your username and password.
- Username will be root.
- Password will be the root password for your server.
- If this is your first time logging into the WHM, you may see a page titled Feature Showcase. Click on Exit to WHM at the bottom of the page.
- Look for the Service Configuration. The quickest way is by typing the keyword on the Search box on the left-side panel.
- Click on Service Manager from the search result.
- From the Service Information enable both Exim Mail Server and Exim Mail Server (on another port).
- Click Save.
