You are tooo coool. > That'd establish a tunnel between localhost:25 on the shell and > localhost port 2525 on your desktop linux box (you can also do this with > PuTTY on windows - google for howtos) I got this working on Linux on one ISP. Another ISP which provides me shell connection (staticky.com) didn't allow this. Can you tell me in *english* what the command did? I mean I understand what is -2, -C and somewhat what is -L but in plain enaglish what does this do? Please don't use the word "tunnel", it is so broad :) > The mail will then go out through that shell server. But are we doing something legal? If the webmaster has closed down SMTP for me he must have his/her reasons. Is it legal to use "tunnel" to go thru'.

Again, you mean 80Mb right? I don't know the mail count. But I am working in a small ISP parttime as a replacement for a friend and one of their server is handling 450-500Mb mails everday and they don't find it heavy.

Either it supports pop before smtp ... or it is compiled with AUTH > support, then it can relay for you. No, you are not getting the point. Assuming you are familar with qmail. Assume that I have patched my qmail-remote to handle SMTP-AUTH, rahul.net:softhome.net <encrypted username> <encryted password> Now, all mails to rahul.net will be sent using softhome.net SMTP. This assumes that I have a softhome address. Now, if I want to send a mail from my local machine with an address [EMAIL PROTECTED], the mail won't go, because control/smtproutes will make it go via. softhome.net and softhome.net won't accept the mail.

When I try to send a mail to my friend with disnet address, I get an SMTP deferral that the server is too busy.

It is the best MTA around. And now, I hate your reverse helo practice more.
