It's not entirely clear what exactly you want to do, but you can make mail |
| 8 |
respond on any port you want. The problem is going to be that other mail |
| 9 |
servers expect to contact you on TCP port 25 and, if you want to receive |
| 10 |
mail, you'll need to answer on that port. |

In other words, you can configure a backup mail server to respond on 25, |
| 13 |
but you can't get other mail servers (outside of your control) to send mail |
| 14 |
to that non-standard port. |
