I would like to setup a second instance of Exim, to listen on a
different port to allow forwarding and receipts from mail server
located using a non-standard port (other than port 25).
The sites on the other end, would point all outbound mail via that
different port to this host as a smarthost.
Digging through the documents, it appears that I can do this with
exim options like:
exim -bd -oX 8025 -C different_config_file
This would start an exim daemon on port 8025 using a different config
file than what the currently running standard port one would be.
Sounds simple enough...
However, I seem to recall when I was looking for something else in
the Exim archives, that there could be a problem with attempting to
do it like this.
I see where a lot of people have asked (normally for testing
purposes) but I'd like to find out if someone is actively doing this.
And what problems they may have run into.
Is this something easy to do with the current stable release or
should I hold off until Exim 4.
