postfix is conflicting with kolab

Dear list,

I have discovered the smtp port conflict. in Suse 10. mail
deamon is
postfix and it is using
port 25. now smtp of kolab also need port 25. if I disable
the postfix
of my suse then
I can't get the system message. So is it possible to provode
another
port to kolab for
smtp ?

thanks in advanced.

Hey Joy,

imho two postfix instances are much oversized only to get
local system 
messages.
Why not use a smaller mta like the very simple nullmailer.
It is easy to 
configure and works very well.

May I suggest changing the default SuSE postfix port?

Edit /etc/services and add 'smtpalt' service description
listening on 
port 2025/tcp.
Edit /etc/postfix/master.cf file and MODIFY the service
starting
with 'smtp' to 'smtpalt'.

Please note that smtpalt and port 2025 naming/numbering is
entirely up 
to you. You can call the alternate smtp port anything you'd
like, and 
you can choose any available port number you'd like.
