Hello, I'm having 4.11 and 5.3 FreeBSD PCs. All incoming email arrives through fetchmail (using imap protocol). I then filter all email with procmail, which is configured such that it trashes spam, or delivers to local mailbox, or forwards to another external address. For external delivery, I have set up an ssh tunnel to my smtp server: ssh -N -f -L 2525:localhost:25 smtp.server.it What do I have to do next, to have the delivery work properly? Can I tell procmail to push the email directly onto the port 2525 of the ssh tunnel? Or do I have to reconfigure sendmail for this? (sendmail reconfiguration info looks like a nightmare to me though....). Do I have other options? Thanks, Rob. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Personals - Better first dates.
