Kinda off-topic.

I am using port-map to map port 587 to port 25 on my iMail box (Windows
2003).

First I discovered that I actually had to run the app using the following
command line:

pm.exe 5587 69.59.165.93 25 w

(note the 5587, instead of just 587).  It seems that the app ignores the
first character of the source port to be remapped... hmmph.  Anyway...

I have put the command line into a batch file, remap_port_587.bat.  I'd like
to be able to run that batch file 'as a service' so to speak, so that
whenever the system is restarted, I don't have to log in and manually re-run
the command line.

Any ideas how I might do that, or if I even need the batch file at all... is
there another way?

Lastly, since I removed this machine's own IP addresses from the "relay for
addresses" list, it is not a mail relay on port 587.  Are there any
ramifications of this I should know about?

If this works, we'll have solidly solved the problem for users that are
behind ISP filters blocking port 25... and we'll all be very happy!

Thanks in advance,

Marc
