How do I configure my mail server to use Alternate-port SMTP with authentication?

Here are some links to documentation on setting up mail servers to use an smtp gateway for all outgoing mail with authentication. This is only a short list of popular MTAs. For other mail servers please consult their documentation or contact the publishers technical support.

Exchange A Quick Guide to Using Alternate-port SMTP with Exchange
Exim Exim 4.10 Specification, 32.5. Authentication by an Exim client
MDaemon

User Manual pages 48-53, Section Domain/ISP under Domain Configuration Editor in the Primary Configuration Editor section.
Support > MDaemon > Documention

NOTE: MDaemon 7.0 & 7.1 have a bug which causes the AUTH request to not be sent when using an alternate port. Please use a previous version or get an update from Alt-N (not available as of 2004-06-24)

Postfix Postfix official documentation is the first place to start. A user reported some additional configuration is necessary to get postfix working with Cyrus SASL. Here are his notes:

"Cyrus-sasl isn't built with PLAIN or LOGIN by default on most machines. You have to get the source, ./configure --enable-login --enable-plain and then build it, install and probably symlink /usr/local/lib/sasl2 to /usr/lib/sasl2. (I would suggest mv /usr/lib/sasl2 /usr/lib/sasl2-orig to preserve the original just in case this doesn't fix your problem)"

Thanks to Rob.
