This "local listener" is what I already have (it's not ssh that's unreliable, but the overall design that's fragile), and it is exactly what I'm trying to avoid. I want a tighter, synchronous, coupling between the local SMTP client and the remote SMTP server. Nothing that relies on the ssh tunnel being up in the exact moment when Postfix/smtp chooses it wants to relay a message because that I cannot guarantee.
