I am trying to use a smart host and the logs still appear to be port 25.  I thought I had to go router 
and add the following entry

smtp.XXX.XXX.com = smtp.XXX.XXX.com.587.via


07:35:30.936 MODULE(SMTP) postmaster: {ATRNLoginName="";ATRNPassword="";Advertize8BIT=non-clients;
AdvertizeAUTH=everybody;AltDelayFailedTime=1h;AlwaysTryEHLO=NO;AlwaysTrySecure=NO;BackupServer="";
ChangeDelayAfter=3h;ChannelsPerHost=2;DelayFailedFrom=30m;DelayFailedRecipient=1h;DelayFailedTime=30m;
DelayPrompt=0;EmptyPathAttemptsTime=2h;ForeignServer=smtp.XXX.com;ForwardLogin=XXXXX@XXX;
ForwardPassword=XXXXXX;HideReceivedFields=NO;InputSizeLimit=unlimited;Listener={MaxInputChannels=50;
Ports=({PortNumber=25;});};LogLevel=5;MaxAttemptsTime=3d;MaxOutputChannels=50;ProtocolErrorLimit=20;
RCPTFlowLimit=50;RCPTFlowPeriod=15s;RecipientsLimit="-1";RelayToBackedUp=YES;RelayToClients=simple;
RelayToStrangers=clients;ReleaseQueues=clients;ReverseCheck=Disabled;SPFMode=Disabled;SecureHosts=();
SendRecipients="-1";SendWakeups=NO;SendWarningTime=3h;StartParallel=1m;StartParallelQueue=50;
TempDenyTime=15m;UseATRN=NO;UseForeignServer=YES;VerifyHELO=everybody;VerifyReturnPath=everybody;
WakeupInterval=30m;}

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

That's just a log of a settings change, isn't it? I wouldn't expect a router entry to have any bearing on module settings. The actual message delivery doesn't go to port 587?

You should had specified the port number here.

Also note that there are smtp.XXX.com and smtp.XXX.XXX.com in your
Router hetry.

Can someone help me setup smtp forward to a smart host on a non-standard port? I do not understand the solution offered in this post either.

I have tried all CG Pro router rules with all the documented syntax I could find, but mail is still being forwarded on port 25, which of course is blocked. The smtp forwarded will not work if the domain name and port number are entered, but if I enter an IP address it will recognize the port number. The problem with the IP address is, that the ssl certificate does not match and no connection can be made,

If you want to forward ALL your outgoing mail through a smart host that requires authentication (port 587 usually requires auth), you have to do it through the Settings/Mail/SMTP/Sending page.  Select Forward To:, and enter the host name there with the port. The username and password field should appear after you click Update.

If you need to forward only some of your outgoing mail through that smart host, I'm afraid you won't be able to do that with CGP alone, as router entries cannot bear auth info.

Maybe I did not make it clear in my post, but I tried adding the port number to the forwarding server, e.g. domain.com:465 and it did not work. It does work using an IP address, like xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:465? This port is not blocked, I can telnet to it. I only started to play with the router rules after I could not get it to work in the forwarder section of the SMTP module. If I use the IP address and port number, then the SSL certificate does not match and no connection is allowed.
