hi, I'm bit new this feature as well, and I find this situation bit irritating. the same bounce off box can be used to tunnel any part but in my understanding to tunnel a privilege port (<1024) from a middle box you'll need to do it with the root user of the ssh proxy. So following command will looks like...
$ ssh root$SSHPROXY -L993:MAILSERVER:2993 may be someone can give a logical explanation to this.
