I can't do that as the mail server is there for all inbound mail which is expected to be on the SMTP port. That box also happens to be 5 years old in a colo facility and runs Fedora Core 4 till I can get back there and replace it with a new box and O/S. I can't chance monkeying with it too much given I'm 2,000 miles away in Honduras.
My local mailer here is an Evolution client. I thought of having my client send mail to the local sendmail server on my box, and then have it forward to the box in Texas via an SSH tunnel port 25 to port 25, but my server in Texas needs authentication and sendmail won't cooperate in sending it. I've thought of all the options and the only one that works is via the firewall bypassing the local ISP's trap by rewriting the packets generated on port 25 to port "somethingelse", i.e. port 26. -- Bill Gradwohl ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H _______________________________________________ Shorewall-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/shorewall-users
