Dear erman,

Is it mandatory to open port 25 in application server inorder to make workflow to send mails for ebs?pls advice

Out smtp server is configured on port 587.

Thanks,

If your smtp server is listening on port 587, then you need to open the port 587 on apps node. Ofcourse you need to configure your wf mailer accordingly, you need the mailer to reach the mail server through the mail server's hostname + port 587.

Then port 25 is not used by mailer.So we can close it

We mailer doesn't use the port in the application node. It is the agent, it is the client.. Think that way..
It is the mailer server that listens to the smtp port and that port is in the mail server side.
In your case, your mail server listens port 587.
