This is an installation issue more than an issue with Trac.

You need to tell Apache which network port to consider, because it acts as a server.

However, SMTP in Trac acts as a client, and your kernel routing table should be able to use the appropriate port to reach the SMTP server - except if you have several paths to reach this server.

Is your server in this latter case?

  • Resolution set to worksforme
  • Status changed from new to closed

As eblot pointed out, this is an installation issue. Without any new information, there is also nothing further we can do. Closing.
