How can I tell my exim to use 587 for the/a smarthost? I am setting
the smarthost with
	DCsmarthost=${lookup{*}lsearch{/etc/smarthost}{$value:}{}}my.relaying.smtp.host
so if I set up /etc/smarthost with some specific values then that is used,
but by default my.relaying.smtp.host.

Is there a way to tell exim to use 587 as delivery port?

Thanks and all the best

Norbert
