Mail Server Coexistence
The section discusses how to have Lyris List Manager run on the same machine as another mail server program. If you are running Lyris List Manager on a machine where there is no other
mail server, you do not need to read this section.

Other Mail Servers
If you are using a different mail server than one mentioned above, the answer depends on whether your mail server has a feature necessary for coexistence with Lyris List Manager. In most cases, you
will spare yourself considerable work if you can find a machine that is not running a mail server, and install Lyris List Manager on that machine. Most mail server companies never planned
on coexistence as a need and consequently made it impossible for Lyris List Manager to work with them.
The issue is that your mail server wants to receive all the mail sent to your machine, and thus Lyris List Manager never gets a chance to see its own mail.
There are three techniques for having Lyris List Manager coexist with your mail server.
If your machine has more than one TCP/IP address and you can tell your mail server to leave at least one of those TCP/IP addresses unused, then Lyris List Manager can coexist on one (or multiple)
TCP/IP addresses, and your mail server can exist on another. Sendmail, for instance, supports this technique.
Another technique is to configure Lyris List Manager to receive mail on a different port (port 26 is common) and then configure your mail server to forward mail on to Lyris List Manager running on a
different port. To use this technique, you set up an alias for your machine (by adding a DNS 'A' RECORD) and inform your mail server that mail received for this address should be forwarded to Lyris
List Manager that is running on a different port. Post.Office supports this technique.
Finally, a third technique is to move your mail server to another port, let Lyris List Manager answer mail on port 25, and inform it to forward non-Lyris mail on to your mail server that is running
on an alternate port.
