Does anyone know how easy way to get mail server to listen on port 26. I have some customer who cannot send using port 25.

In the esmtpd file inside /etc/courier directory where it has PORT=smtp change it to read PORT=smtp,26

Then just run a /etc/rc.d/init.d/courier restart

make sure to open up a rule in iptables if your using that.

The smtp server already listens on port 25 and 26 by default so there is no need to modify your configuration file.

Would it be poissible to put the alternate port config within the control panel.

defunctiam - It would be wise to run on an alternate port in addtion to port 25 instead of changing the port altogether.
