I found another utility that's completely free.  Port Mapper v1.40 from
http://www.kmint21.com/free/.

As Jerod pointed out you need to make sure you don't bypass any SMTP
AUTH requirements.


ie, exclude 127/8 from trusted networks. Don't know whether that would break anything.

Alright, that does beg the question. I've been looking at this as a solution to allow SMTP Auth for roaming clients who may be hooking up to any number of ISPs (some of which block outgoing SMTP traffic from clients).


Can one block the 127 net from being accepted as a local network and what would happen if one did.

We've learned our Cisco router, without a rather expensive feature pack, won't do port redirection, so we're thinking about going to a Linux router, instead. In the meantime, it would be nice to patch this problem up.
