that's a `port =' option to the smtp transport

you can do it even without ssl.

both - you have to enable tls support in the makefile, and you have to
configure some stuff (tls_*) in the runtime config. i'm not sure
whether exim supports sending directly to ssmtp servers (ie where you
start with an ssl conncetion from right at the beginning, as oposed to
issung starttls) - does it, anyone ?

wrong path. you need openssl to generate certificates, not openssh to
generate ssh keys :)

i learnt from some recent discussions on the list that a service
called submission or something is used to circumvent these nasty
providers' restriction. you might want to look for that in the
archives.
