OK, this is what I do now, followed by what I would like to do; I forward ports 80, 25, and 119 on my local server to a remote proxy (a machine in another part of the country) using ssh. The setup in my client is to send email to localhost, where it is forwarded by ssh to the remote proxy. The problem is that in order for this to work I have to disable sendmail, which means I don't get any logwatch reports in my root mail. Not sure if what I'm doing makes an sense, it just happens to work and so it's what I do. What I'd like is to be able to have both sendmail and my ssh port forwarding work. I haven't the foggiest idea how to do it. Could I get sendmail to route mail destined for outside the local network to port 25 which is then forwarded to the proxy, and route local mail to the local address? Any ideas? Thanks, -P
