Subject: [exim] connection timed out when connecting to remote hosts using a non standard smtp port
Hi all,

I installed exim since xmail is having problems delivering mail to yahoo and hotmail, so the setup i want to do is still receive mail using xmail on port 25 but use exim to relay messages from xmail. (i.e. xmail forwards to exim for relay to other domains) so I changed exims default smtp port to port 2525 via the default_smtp_port option in exim's config file...so far so good, i can telnet localhost on port 2525 and exims answers, however when i test mail using exim I get error in main.log
