Andy,
/usr/sbin/exim looks good. Try testing it using:
/usr/sbin/exim -bV
It should confirm the version number.
I'm sure 192.168.0.1 will work fine; I just copied my example conf file.
You do need to restart Exim for the config changes to work and to do this
try:
Create a file called /usr/local/bin/hupexim
Add this to the above file:
#!/usr/local/bin/bash
kill -HUP $(cat /path/to/exim-daemon.pid)
Then chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/hupexim
Now you only need to type hupexim to restart Exim.
I think you change the SMTP port by editing /etc/services (but I haven't
done this myself).
Hope the above helps.
Rob

Subject: Re: [exim] SMTP forwards with EXIM
I don't know which exim is the correct exim, i do a find and it comes up
with about 10. I did the /usr/sbin/exim one, looked like the best candidate.
I replaced this in my exim.conf file:
host_accept_relay = 127.0.0.1 : ::::1
with
host_accept_relay = 192.168.0.1/16.
Why the 16?
My windows box is 192.168.0.1
After the conf change do I need to restart anything?
Appears it didn't change anything. Where do I specify the port number and
such? I changed STMP from 25 to another port for security.
Thanks for the responce.
