Apologies if it's been asked before, a search for a forum entry with Exim, 465, SMTP, didn't show anything.
Used Exim on Freesco in the past, had it working well. Used the FAQ/Wiki guidance at:
http://dingetje.homeip.net/dokuwiki/fre ... ail_server
Now, Freesco is on a mobile carrier, and I want to route outbound email through a (different) paid-for SMTP service using SSL on port 465. (Mobile carrier recommends doing this, and handheld clients seem to manage it ok, so the carrier does route port 465 traffic correctly.)
I could not see anywhere in the Exim conf file to stipulate using port 465. I've said
hosts_require_auth = the.paidfor.server
and set up a LOGIN auth stanza with
client_send = ^me^mypass
But the connection is failing and I think it needs to use port 465.
Is it possible to do this, and where should I configure the port?
Any help much appreciated,
regards, Island
