Outbound SMTP blocks

Thursday, June 10th, 2004

Stupid ISP tried to lock down outbound SMTP, ostensibly to shut down traffic from spammers and trojaned windows machines.

Thank goodness for SSH.

su -c "ssh -L 25:localhost:25 user@mail.server.com"

Just repoint my mail client to use 'localhost' as a server, and viola.
