so in
/etc/exim/configure
within the section:
######################################################################
# TRANSPORTS CONFIGURATION #
######################################################################
I would just add:
port = 26
and exim would start sending stuff out on port 26?

Now the runtime config is:
/etc/exim/configure
And the make file that I want to modify is:
exim-4.04/Makefile
or is it:
exim-4.04/scripts/ConfigureMakefile
And when I know which file I am to modify, I should (according to this
doc):
http://www.exim.org/exim-html-4.00/doc/html/spec_36.html
So I'd just insert this at the top of exim-4.04/Makefile (if that's the
right one) and then configure, make, makeinstall as usual??
SUPPORT_TLS=yes
TLS_LIBS=-L/usr/local/openssl/lib -lssl -lcrypto
TLS_INCLUDE=/usr/include/openssl/
I'm not sure what's supposed to go in the runtime config at all.. I
can't just put:
tls_* in and don't know where the list of functions is..

but you said I could do it without ssl???

Searching the archives:
http://www.exim.org/cgi-bin/htsearch
There are 152 references to:
[Exim] Submission port
I think this is the topic thread, but if someone has a more specific
link it would help a lot.
