A combo box is presented, where you can choose between all the known IP addresses for this machine, a <none> option, and an <All Available> option.

You can also type multiple IP addresses manually into the text area, separated by semicolons.

Ports

The ports that this service listens on.

The defaults are the standard Internet ports as defined by ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers).

For information about the submission port # 587, refer to Mail service - Security - General.
