Dear list, I have been using fetchmail + procmail + exim4 to handle my mail. I have a setup by which certain messages are received by procmail, and a copy of some is forwarded to another address automatically. Now, recently, due to excessive spread of viruses on the network due to a popular but highly vulnerable mail client on a popular but vulnerable OS (need I say more ;-), port 25 requests have ben blocked for good! That means, exim can't forward my messages anymore. Now, I have access through SSH to a machine close to my SMTP server, so I have managed to get sending work using port forwarding and esmtp. However, if I try to tell exim to relay mail to a smarthost on my own computer (on a port different from 25, of course), exim complains that it won't send the messages to the same machine. How do I tell exim4 that I am actually sending the mail to a different computer through a port, and not trying to cheat it? Thanks.
