Within the httpd.config file you can setup Apache to listen to any port not
in use by another service. You can try 8080, which is a well known
secondary port for web services.

Apache doesn't do SMTP, so I'm assuming that you want Sendmail or qMail (or
whatever your mail server is) to listen on another port?
