Hai Krzys,
sorry to bud in so late, and for breaking the thread referencing
but it was only after I deleted the whole thread from within mutt
that I realised that I might offer some help. I picked up your
first request from the muc.list.debian.user netnews copy of debian-user.

As was pointed out to you, and you already started doing, you have to
reconfigure exim to use a smart-host. Then do some editing in /etc/exim.conf:
Add a transport in the Transport section:
tunneled_smtp:
driver = smtp
port = 6025
Start the Router section with:
smart_tunnel:
driver = domainlist
transport = tunneled_smtp
self = send
route_list = "* localhost byname"
And of you go! That is, if the port is forwarded in time.
It works here, but I give no garantees:)
Just curious, what tricks do you use to create this port forwarding?
And is it created on the fly?
