[olug] Cox and port 25

[David Walker]

In your case this is an easy fix.  Provided you can leave an open ssh 
connection to your boxes at work.  If the terms of use of olug.org permits 
this you could also do it through there.

ssh box_at_work -L2525:remote_machine:25
then configure whatever is sending the mail to send it to localhost:2525
(you could forward port 25 but on redhat sendmail listens there by default)

or. if you have several machines that need send mail via remote_machine
ssh box_at_work -g -L2525:remote_machine:25
then configure the local machines to send mail to your_machine:2525
