You are wrong. It is not your mistake - it is MY mistake. :-)

I must have done this work (to deal with changing ports) some time ago,
and forgotten that I had. So all should be well if the port is just
expanded, which is a small item of work.

Sigh. Exim has got too big for me to hold it all in my head any more... :-)

Thank you for sussing this out and reminding me.
