You could just use an SSH tunnel FROM port 25 on localhost TO port 25 on the smarthost. For example: ssh -L25:localhost:25 -N your.smarthost.org That way anything that goes out on port 25 on your local system will come in on port 25 of the remote system. So exim will still answer it as a default SMTP connection. -- Alex Malinovich Support Free Software, delete your Windows partition TODAY! Encrypted mail preferred.
