How to enable alternate port for exim?

Exim is a mail transfer agent (MTA) used on Linux/Unix-like operating systems. It is freely available under the GNU GPL and it aims to be a general and flexible mailer with extensive facilities for checking incoming e-mail.

Normally default port for exim is 25. but most of the ISP block port 25. so it is necessary that an altername port for exim is open on server. Following are the steps to configure alternate port on cPanel/WHM installed on the server.

1) Login to WHM as root.

2) In WHM click on  Main >> Service Configuration >> Service Manager

3) Now tick the check box under Exim on another port and also enter the alternate port no: in the corresponding text box.
