I suspect you'll have to do tricks with the 'port' setting on the
_transport_ to contact non-standard remote ports.

Note that '*.steeplejack.com' will not match 'steeplejack.com',
because of the '.' preceding 'steeplejack'. The spec says, in section
'Domain lists':
* If a pattern starts with an asterisk, the remaining characters of
the pattern are compared with the terminating characters of the
domain. The use of `*' in domain lists differs from its use in
partial matching lookups. In a domain list, the character
following the asterisk need not be a dot, whereas partial matching
works only in terms of dot-separated components. For example, a
domain list item such as `*key.ex' matches "donkey.ex" as well as
"cipher.key.ex".
My guess is that the thing works if you instead do 'exim -bt
joe@???'.
You can solve this by either
* Doubling the entry, e.g.
route_list = steeplejack.com host1:host2 ; *.steeplejack.com host1:host2 ; ...
* Using a regex instead of an leading asterisk pattern:
route_list = ^(.*\.)?steeplejack\.com$
(No guarantees that I've used the correct number of backslashes in
there, though...)
* Some kind of single-key (file) lookup -- but then you should
probably consider switching from 'route_list' to 'domains' +
'route_data' to get string expansion.

Neither do I.
