Installing Symantec Mail Security for SMTP

Note: You should install Symantec Mail Security for SMTP on a separate server
from your SMTP server to avoid significant impact on network resources.
You need root or administrator-level privileges to install Symantec Mail
Security for SMTP. A static IP address is required.
If you decide to install Symantec Mail Security for SMTP on the same computer
as your SMTP server, you must configure Symantec Mail Security for SMTP to
listen on the port to which mail clients deliver messages. Because port 25 is the
port to which most servers send email connection requests, you should
configure Symantec Mail Security for SMTP listen on port 25. If your mail server
is currently listening on port 25, you must change your server to listen on a
different port.
On Solaris, if another process is running on port 25, Symantec Mail Security for
SMTP automatically attempts to disable it. A record that the process has been
disabled is placed in the log directory. If another process is disabled because it is
running on port 25, there is an on-screen option during installation that lets you
stop the installation process and change the port for the existing process or
allow Symantec Mail Security for SMTP to disable the process and continue the
installation on port 25.
Note: If another process that is running on port 25 is disabled, you must
configure the disabled process to run on another port.
