Hi everyone!

How can I tell my exim to use 587 for the/a smarthost? I am setting
the smarthost with
	DCsmarthost=${lookup{*}lsearch{/etc/smarthost}{$value:}{}}my.relaying.smtp.host
so if I set up /etc/smarthost with some specific values then that is used,
but by default my.relaying.smtp.host.

Is there a way to tell exim to use 587 as delivery port?

Thanks and all the best

Norbert

On wiki.debian.org/GmailAndExim4 I found that solution:

# vi /etc/exim4/conf.d/transport/30_exim4-config_remote_smtp_smarthost and add
the following line before the line containing "hosts_try_auth..."
	port = 587

Will try that.

Best wishes

Norbert
