This is the basics of what you need to do for sending to an alternate
port on a remote host (smarthost)


Router:

send_to_smarthost:
driver = manualroute
transport = remote_smtp_relay
route_list = *

Transport:

remote_smtp_relay:
driver = smtp
delay_after_cutoff = false
no_retry_include_ip_address
port = 26
