Change webmail Port

[andrewtayloruk]

Hi, i was wondering if anybody here has changed the port that webmail uses on their VPS. I ask because some of the buildings i use to access my webmail have firewalls enabled which block the port it's using so i have to resort to accessing email on my phone.

Is this something hostgator can do for me or will i need to do it myself?

Thanks,
Andrew

domain.com/webmail is just port 80.

Hi, when i enter domain.com/webmail i'm redirected to domain.com:2095

Try webmail.domain.com.

It works because of these 2 settings in WHM:
Tweak Settings -> Domains -> Add proxy VirtualHost to httpd.conf to automatically redirect unconfigured cpanel, webmail, webdisk and whm subdomains to the correct port (requires mod_rewrite and mod_proxy)

Tweak Settings -> Domains -> Automatically create cpanel, webmail, webdisk and whm proxy subdomain DNS entries for new accounts. When this is initially enabled it will add appropriate proxy subdomain DNS entries to all existing accounts. (Use /scripts/proxydomains to reconfigure the DNS entries manually)
