Hi out there,

I hope you can help me with a curious problem I am experiencing.
I've set up a new domino server (5.0.12) on SLES 9.0. When starting the 
SMTP Task, the following error message is generated on the domino console 
log every 20 seconds:

"Unable to bind to port: Port=6400 errno=98 "Address already in use"
"SMTP Server Listener Failure - The requested TCP/IP Port is already in 
use on this system."

I always thought that SMTP listens on Port 25 if not told to do otherwise.
When viewing the tasks of the domino server it tells me "SMTP: Listening 
on port 25".
So what is this Port 6400 all about ? I couldn't really find anything 
about this by googling, except for some Trojan called "TheThing" which I 
can rule out as the new server is running isolated in a testing 
environment as yet.

I'm not exactly a Linux pro, so any advice on this is very much 
appreciated.

Thanx in advance.

Torsten
