Bug#293883: exim4: ssmtp host uses port 465 for SSL/TLS auth, how to specify?

[Robert E. Riding]

Package: exim4
Version: 4.44-2
Severity: normal


My ISP, listed as smarthost, still uses port 465 for ssmtp.  I have been
told to manually specify this in the transport section for smtp smarthost but
can't seem to find information on how to do this.  Please advise.

Without knowing how to use the nonstandard smtp port to connect to my 
smarthost I must use non-encrypted authentication.

Thanks for your time.
