  • Require TLS and authenticated submission.
  • Make sure the server is not an open relay.
  • Publish SPF, DKIM and DMARC for the domain.

03 Check it

Which program uses port 4310, and is it reachable?

Linux

sudo ss -ltnup 'sport = :4310'      # process listening on 4310
sudo lsof -nP -i :4310

macOS

sudo lsof -nP -i :4310

Windows (PowerShell)

Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort 4310 -State Listen | Select LocalAddress, OwningProcess

From another machine

nmap -p 4310 -sV <host>
sudo nmap -sU -p 4310 <host>
nc -zv <host> 4310
