Hi,
I have port 25 blocked by my ISP and I want to forvard my mail to the
different port and use another mail server outside (no-ip.com).
As soon as I changed the port number, it stopped(smtp) and prodused this
message:
The service has returned a sercice-specific error code.
Check the Windows Event viewer for details.

In event viewer I found the next error:
Event Type: Error
Event Source: SMTPSVC
Event Category: None
Event ID: 115
Date: 2/8/2005
Time: 12:50:36 PM
User: N/A
Computer: ASTAR
Description:
The service could not bind instance 1. The data is the error code.

For more information, see Help and Support Center at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.
Data:
0000: 40 27 00 00 @'..

What should I do cince all available ports in my case are inpossible set as
a communication ports at SMTP.

Alex.

Don't use Port 1025. Port Numbers from 1024 are used temporary from all
Processes. Use a Port < 1024 or > ca. 5000 ??.

I've successfully used 10024 (that is, a port above 10000) with IIS
SMTP.

All ports below 1024 are reserved, pre-assigned. Ports between 1024
and 49151 are registered ports, look them up before using 'em. Ports
above 49151 are dynamic or private. REgardless, as Luts mentiones,
1024 is not available for your use, it is reserved.

Thank you for your comments.
Unfortunatly, I have only those ports open:
21,1025, 1026, 1029, 1030, 1031, 1032, 3969

All other porta are closed or filtered.
Port 1032 I use for my web-site hosting.
Any attempts to set those ports as a primary ports for SMTP are failed!

Is your ISP blocking the other ports? If so, ask them to open one up?
Or is your firewall doign teh block (as it should...)? If so you can
open it there...

In the above list, I'd try each one and see what happens. None are
commonly used, AFAIK

I recognized two more open ports: 3389 and 6969.
One of them is "Remote decktop access" port, so I am able to get in to my PC
from my job-it is a good news for me.I tried it and it is works!
I already opened all ports on my router: 1- 65535, so now what I have is
what is done at ISP side(Cablevision-Optimum on line). They does not wont to
open any additional ports cince I have dinamic IP and it is technical
difficult for them(they want me to switch to commertial account with high
price - more then $59.99/month I pay now).
So, I faced the reality to deal with those ports only. I already using 1032
for my web-site hosting, 21 for FTP and 3389 for remote decktop and the only
future I missing is SMTP

Not to be an alarmist, but check your contract with the ISP to be sure
they allow you to run FTP and/or SMTP... Some ISPs do not allow either
to be run from a priavte account (mostly traffic (FTP) or
security/anti-spam (SMTP))

Be careful that they don't shut you down.
