Everyone seems to have missed the part of
http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#relayhost that says:

In the case of SMTP, specify a domain name, hostname, hostname:port,
[hostname]:port, [hostaddress] or [hostaddress]:port. The form
[hostname] turns off MX lookups.

So it would seem the form
relayhost = [hostname]:port
is the documented answer.

Is there some way the documentation could to be made more
clear? Maybe an example showing an alternate port for those who skip
the description and go straight to the examples?
