--- Begin Message ---Package: exim4-config Version: 4.69-1 Severity: wishlist The exim4 configuration integration with debconf is quite nice, but is missing a feature that I need and others may find useful: the use of a non-standard port with the smarthost. Some networks block port 25, and to compensate, some ISPs allow SMTP connections on non-standard ports. Mine is one such. The config change is quite simple: the addition of a REMOTE_SMTP_SMARTHOST_PORT macro, and of this text in the "remote_smtp_smarthost" transport: .ifdef REMOTE_SMTP_SMARTHOST_PORT port = REMOTE_SMTP_SMARTHOST_PORT .endif Until this is added, I have to tweak the provided configuration on each upgrade. adTHANKSvance -- Package-specific info: Exim version 4.69 #1 built 22-Jan-2008 09:26:24 Copyright (c) University of Cambridge 2006 Berkeley DB: Berkeley DB 4.6.21: (September 27, 2007) Support for: crypteq iconv() IPv6 GnuTLS move_frozen_messages Lookups: lsearch wildlsearch nwildlsearch iplsearch cdb dbm dbmnz dnsdb dsearch nis nis0 passwd Authenticators: cram_md5 plaintext Routers: accept dnslookup ipliteral manualroute queryprogram redirect Transports: appendfile/maildir/mailstore autoreply lmtp pipe smtp Fixed never_users: 0 Size of off_t: 8 Configuration file is /var/lib/exim4/config.autogenerated -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.23-1-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages exim4-config depends on: ii adduser 3.105 add and remove users and groups ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.18 Debian configuration management sy exim4-config recommends no packages. -- debconf information excluded

Each of the hosts is tried, in the order specified (See exim specification, chapter 20.5). All deliveries go out to TCP port 25 unless a different port is specified after the host name, separated from the host name by two colons. Colons in IPv6 addresses need to be doubled. If a port number follows, IP addresses may be enclosed in brackets, which might be the only possibility to specify delivery to an IPv6 address and a different port. Examples: host.domain.example deliver to host looked up on DNS, tcp/25 host.domain.example::587 deliver to host looked up on DNS, tcp/587 192.168.2.4 deliver to IPv4 host, tcp/25 192.168.2.4::587 deliver to IPv4 host, tcp/587 [192.168.2.4]::587 deliver to IPv4 host, tcp/587 2001::0db8::f::4::::2 deliver to IPv6 host, tcp/25 [2001::0db8::f::4::::2]::587 deliver to IPv6 host, tcp/587 This is used as value of the DCsmarthost macro.
