I normally use exim4 with the "smarthost-configuration", i.e. I relay all email to the mail server of my ISP. In the file /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf i thus have a line saying:
dc_smarthost='mail.my.isp.se' Now I would like to tunnel my outgoing email over ssh, and I have started up an ssh tunnel with: ssh -l jesper -L 1369:mail.my.isp.se:25 -N shell.my.isp.se Then I changed the line in /etc/exim4/update-exim4.conf.conf to: dc_smarthost='localhost:1369' But this didn't work. I received the following email from my local exim4 server: The following address(es) have yet to be delivered: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: remote host address is the local host Obviously exim4 doesn't want to send emails that it regards as remote to local host. And how to make it consider a tunnel on the local host a legitimate remote email server? I have been looking through the config files of exim4, but nothing seems like an obvious solution, does anyone here know how to solve this?
