New Exim question
I did an apt-get install mutt, which brought in exim.
In the Q&A setup, I told exim that I have a smarthost that relays my mail.
Except I typoed it. Plus, I need to specify a port.
So I see it saved it in the /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf file.

So, after I modify this file, is there anything I need to do to make it take affect, and where can I specify a non-standard port for this?

New dpkg-reconfigure exim4-configUmm well... use the tools...
dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config

update-exim4.conf

/etc/init.d/exim4 restart

That should do it.

No matter how much Microsoft supporters whine about how Linux and other operating systems have just as many bugs as their operating systems do, the bottom line is that the serious, gut-wrenching problems happen on Windows, not on Linux, not on Mac OS. -- [link|http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1622086,00.asp|source]

New Thanks
But I don't see where I can use a different port for my smart-host.
I setup a company many years ago with an internal email
server. I have a non-standard port on a firewall route my email to their box for forwarding, since it in not their primary machine. It will only accept forwarding from my address.

If I don't do it that way, then I need to forward through comcast's email servers, and they are HORRIBLE.

New Well, mostly standard stuff usually.
But incase you have a customization just add the port to the end of the IP Addr. Like this: 192.168.1.50:93

Do this via dpkg-reconfigure.
