Thanks.  I modified the S07misc file to include the port statement and I'll
start from there.

Kevin:

I have same issue here with Cox cable.  What I did was to name Cox's SMTP
server as the smtp server in rc.conf ... But then I use Cox's mail server
for receipt of mail also ... Am not sure if this workaround will do trick
for you but this works for me ...

I am sure there are more elegant ways to deal with this but I was looking
for the simplest way to get it to do what I want and this was it ...

Well.. still having difficulty with this.  I am debugging the logs for
clues.  I did add the port statement to the /tmp/etc/msmtprc file, although
it is gone after a reboot, unfortunately, this is not a viable option and I
don't have the ability to ssh to my ISP's mail server.  Any other ideas?

Yes msmtp supports specifying a port.  Astlinux does not yet have this
feature installed.  All that needs to be done is to create another variable
to specify the outgoing port # and add some logic in the init script to add
this to the msmtp config file.

You can do this temporarily by editing /tmp/etc/msmtprc and adding:

port 26

after the line that says "host yourmailhost"

The other way around situations like this is to create an ssh tunnel and
port forward some local port number to your external server.  That encrypts
the mail and your isp doesn't know what you are doing.

Please report back if this works and we'll add some logic for this option.
