Just tested that. ssh to master, telnet to localhost smtp, it was quite willing to relay mail with a non-local envelope. (And left enough clues in the header to track who did that just in case it ever becomes necessary.) Now if someone was to send much mail that way, I expect checking with the admins in advance might be a good idea, but for low volume (and for contents where the association with Debian in the mail headers won't be a problem) this seems like an easy way to do it. For automated usage, I expect one would prefer something like netcat to telnet, though :-) MfG Kai
