SUMMARY: OT: Setup Sendmail to connect to a smart relay host on a port oth er than 25

Hi All,

The answer as supplied by Lars Hecking, below, was to edit the m4 source for
sendmail.cf and add

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

where 697 would be replaced by the port number one wanted to use.

Regards,
Alan.
