Since I'm running Plesk with QMail and port 25 and 465 (ssl) are both enabled.

I recently switched over to using port 465 for ssl based smtp.

Should I just turn off port 25? Is that more secure? Or is it secure enough already?

If so, how do I turn off port 25?

Thanks!

Only if you do not want to receive email from outside servers, incoming mail comes in on 25
