Subject: Re: smtp - can it be ssh tunneled?

I think you could try this:
ssh -f -L 25:smtp.newsguy.com:25 ssh.access.newsguy.com sleep 3600
Then doing "telnet localhost 25" (on your home machine) would connect
you to smtp.newsguy.com, but smtp.newsguy.com would think you're
coming from ssh.access.newsguy.com.
You might have to do that ssh command as root. Hm. Maybe it's safer
to replace the first 25 with 10025 or something, and then tell
smtpmail.el that you want to connect to host localhost, port 10025.
Then you wouldn't have to do the ssh command as root.
(Once you have connected, the tunnel stays open as long as the
connection stays open. You have 3600 seconds to connect.)
