Or you could write a small script (perl?) that listens on a specific port. When a message (email) is received on that port, it is stored, the script forks a new process to open a SSH tunnel, the message gets piped through, the tunnel is closed and the forked process dies. You just need to set the SMTP (send) port of TheBat! to the port you are listening on. You could then set the script to run as a service.
