Change port for sendmail smarthost

[UBM]

Hello everybody! :-)

I've googled around and looked at www.sendmail.org and the handbook, but
was unable to find anything regarding that subject.

My problem is that the smtp-server at my sendmail smarthost is
listening on port 697 instead of 25 and i need a way to tell sendmail
that.

I experimentally tried 

define(`SMART_HOST', `smtp-server.com:697')

but that didn't work.

Any help is appreciated :-)

Bye
Marc

Try:

define(`RELAY_MAILER_ARGS', `IPC $h 697')dnl

This overrides the 'RELAY' mailer (which should be what gets used when
you connect to your smart host) to connect on port 697.  If necessary
you can use the mailertable functionality to force all messages to the
smart host to use the 'relay' mailer:

.   relay:smtp-server.com

Cheers,

Matthew
