Email won't sent Exim daemon_smtp_ports = 26 : 587

[brooky]

Hi Guys,

My host Vultr block port 25. As a result I've set the ports to 26 and 587 and allowed these in the firewall.

exim.variables.conf.custom

disable_ipv6=true
daemon_smtp_ports = 26 : 587

[root@xxx]#cd /usr/local/directadmin/custombuild
[root@xxx]# ./build exim_conf
Restarting exim.

The mail queue log shows:

2024-10-10 15:32:22 Received from [email protected] U=xxx P=local S=10207 T="Test Email"

What else can I try? I don't understand why I'm still having problems having by passed port 25.
