I know I can specify multiple hosts in a route_list, but can I
specify ports for the individual hosts?
For example, with a smart host could I say "Try localhost port 2525,
and if that fails try host mail.server port 25"?
Or will I need to use multiple routers and transports and perhaps
test for some file to exist (as a flag when localhost:2525 tunnel is
enabled) to select the router.
I realize another solution is to just always use the tunnel.
By the way, I has posted the question below without response --
I'm trying to understand more clearly the "self" and "allow_localhost"
options.
Thanks,
