I have Debian 3.1 installed on a number of machines at home, and I want to make sure the mail gets sent via a smarthost, my mail host at hostpc, but I don't seem to have tweaked the right configuration file, and was wondering if someone could give me some help.
All I really want to do is forward mail from a user to my account at hostpc. I created a .forward file, and that seems to be ok, but the problem is that the outgoing mail is stuck in a queue.
My ISP blocks port 25, so I need to connect on 2525. In /etc/exim4/conf.d/transport/30_exim4-config_remote_smtp_smarthost, I added a line "port = 2525" and restart exim4. However, when I run "runq" to send a message that is in the queue, I get in the log
2005-11-11 11:43:13 1EabLb-0001UU-UH mail.familyk.org [72.35.72.107]: Connection timed out
If I run "exim4 -bP transport remote_smtp_smarthost | grep port", to dump configuration data, I see a line "port = smtp". It makes me think that my attempt to change the default port failed, but I don't know for sure.
So, what do I have to do to get mail sent?
