AIX sendmail.cf configuration alternate SMTP port for Relay Server

Have previously configured AIX server for "smart relay" DS[hostname]. Trying to find the configuration value to change the relay to a specific port (not default SMTP).

Thanks

The answer addressed a different requirement.

Oh, I see, so your daemon will still listen on port 25, but you want to use a 3rd party mail system running on something other than port 25 as your smart host?

If that is the case, IBM is wrong, because changing the value of smtp in /etc/services to another port will also just change which port your system is listening for incoming connections on. Let me know on the question above, and if that is affirmative, I'll get you info on changing that.

Here's how you modify your sendmail.mc file (and then you'll have to do a make to create a new sendmail.cf) with a smart host on a different remote port:

The specific line you're looking for is:

define(`RELAY_MAILER_ARGS', `IPC $h 3325')dnl

Change 3325 to whatever the value port that the other administrator gives you.
