Excellent, though I assume you meant -L25:my.smarthost.org:25 there.

For the benefit of googlers, here's the solution I arrived at.

I created a user called smtp-tunnel on the smarthost, and gave root on
the client machines rights to log into that machine with a key. Then I
run

sudo autossh -f -N -L 25:nuala.thaning.se:25 [EMAIL PROTECTED]

After that, I just 'dpkg-reconfigure exim4-config' to have it use
nuala.thaning.se as a smarthost.

Lots of thanks for the hint.
