so what would my transport section look like?

Surely I need a "port" keyword somewhere

here is my current transport section:

-----------------------------------------------------
############# TRANSPORT SETTINGS ####################
# set rules for delivery transports                 #
#####################################################
begin transports


remote_smtp:
driver = smtp

------------------------------------------------------

Thanks for you help,

Jason
