Hi,

I need some help from anyone who has setup sendmail to forward mail to a
smart relay host that is on a port other than 25.

For example in my sendmail.cf file I have the following

# "Smart" relay host (may be null)
DSmailserver.domain.com

and I can telnet to mail.domain.com on port 25 and it connects fine, e.g.

# telnet mailserver.domain.com 25

Trying a.b.c.d...
Connected to a.b.c.d.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 domain.com MAILsweeper ESMTP Receiver Version 4.2.5.0 Ready

If I telnet to NEWmailserver.domain.com on port 2225 it also connects fine,
e.g.

# telnet NEWmailserver.domain.com 2225
Trying b.c.d.e...
Connected to b.c.d.e.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 NEWmailserver.domain.com SMTP; Fri, 23 Jul 2004 09:00:24 +0200

But If I change the "Smart" relay host line to be:

# "Smart" relay host (may be null)
DSNEWmailserver.domain.com

It does not work - the reason I presume is because it connects by default on
port 25. How do I specify the smart relay host port of 2225 in the sendmail
config?

Any and all assistance will be appreciated.

Regards,
Alan.
