Can I open port in my ConfigServer Security & Firewall

[tomwin]

Hi, in my Directadmin I have installed ConfigServer Security & Firewall - csf v14.04
I was wonder if there is option to open port like 587 so I can use it for SMTP.
Am using CentOs 8. Not sure how to see if the port is open but I get connection refused.

Hi, I found the problem I think. I had to allow outgoing SMTP on ConfigServer Security & Firewall
now it seems that I can connect by port 587 again.

Just a tip. If you install CSF by using ./install_directadmin.sh instead of ./install.sh then these ports will already by opened automatically.

thank you for the tip. 6 months I have tried to figure out why my SMTP never been working. Yesterday was like a birthday party when my emails now start end up in inbox for the first time.

Oeps that's a long time. Pity you did not post it before, otherwise we could have help you.
Anyway, glad to see it's fixed now. And happy birthday!
