I presumed that I would be able to get my smarthost configuration to
deliver mail via an ssh tunnel I have running on the smtp machine to
the target host.
But manualroute seems to refuse to deliver stuff via local machines.
By the way, this config is a machine connected to it's smarthost by an
existing ssh tunnel - I don't want to use a separate pipe based router
to connect to the smarthost.
Can anyone tell me if I can route to the localhost someway?

Possibility for consideration (used here, but not for Exim, so far):
- alias another (non-routable if appropriate) IP onto one of the
'localhost' interfaces.
It need not be an external interface, nor one that is 'wired'.
- point your manual router to that specific IP instead of 'localhost'.
Other entries probably needed w/r listener, treatment as local (or not),
etc.
Optionally firewall divert rules as well.
Easier to log and debug than 'localhost' though.
