See comments in another thread.

When I started writing Exim, there was only one port to think about. A
number of subsequent changes have added more and more flexibility as
more and more ports have come into general use. As I said in a different
thread, there is quite an old wishlist item for a port facility in the
manualroute router, but it has never been implemented.
