Server Settings-Network Ports
Incoming SMTP port
This setting defines the TCP/IP port Aurea List Manager listens on for incoming mail. By default, this setting uses port 25, the Internet standard for receiving SMTP mail.
In some situations, you may want to move the Aurea List Manager SMTP service to another port. For example, you may have antivirus gateway software listening on port 25. In such a case, you need to configure your mail system so that the mail that Aurea List Manager should get is forwarded on to Aurea List Manager at its port. For instance, you might create an alias (a DNS CNAME) for Aurea List Manager mail, and inform your mail system that mail addressed to this alias should be passed on to Aurea List Manager on this port assignment.
If you change this port number, and do not work out an alternate way for Aurea List Manager to get its mail, Aurea List Manager is no longer able to receive mail, and any mail sent to it from the outside does not reach it.
If no site is configured in Aurea List Manager, Aurea List Manager listens to ALL IP addresses on port 25.
Newsgroup port
Specifies the port to be used by the newsgroup server built into Aurea List Manager. Most newsgroup browsers expect a news server to be on port 119, so you should only change this port if you understand the implications: all newsgroup browsers using your server have to explicitly ask for the port you re-assign your server to.
DNS port
Specifies the port to be used by ListManager's DNS engine. By default, all DNS lookups are performed on port 53, the Internet standard for DNS lookups.
In some situations, you may want to specify that Aurea List Manager use a different port for DNS lookups. That port number may be specified here.
TCLPORT port
Specifies the port used by the Aurea List Manager web server to communicate with Aurea List Manager. By default, it uses port 2021 as its port. Only change this port number if you have a TCP/IP port conflict with another service. This is also the port used by remote servers to connect and execute Tcl commands.
If you change the HTTP-LM port number, you also need to change the server port setting in the Aurea List Manager
Web Interface's tclhttpd.rc file.
TCLPORT password
The password that you want the Aurea List Manager Command Protocol to use. The server uses port 2021 to communicate with the web interface and with other programs. Access to the Command Protocol is password protected, so that outsiders cannot affect your server. The default password is "TCLPORTPasswd". You may want to change this password to give you a greater level of security. This is a required field.
However, if you do change this password, immediately after changing it the web interface no longer
works. This is because the web interface configuration file tclhttpd.rc still has the old
password, and is no longer able to access the Command Protocol of your Aurea List Manager. So, immediately
after making a change to the Tclport Password and saving the change, you need to edit the tclhttpd.rc file that is found in your ListManager/tclweb/lib directory. You want to change the line Config
tclport_password
{TCLPORTPasswd} to reflect the new password that you have set.
