Brian's sketch below of how to tunnel to apache mail servers provides a
good opportunity to enquire if anyone knows of a 'server' I could slip
into inetd.conf which would dig such tunnels on demand? Presumably it
would rendezvous somehow with my ssh-agent to get credentials. As it
is I have a script I run that creates a dozen tunnels for various
services (smtp, ldap, http proxies, vnc, ssh, pptp, etc. etc) lurking
behind various firewalls inside various organizations; it's unreliable.

Joshua and Joerg said you can just send mail as whomever you like

your local SMTP relay; and while that's usually true, some conservative
sysadmins will only allow relaying through of mail claiming to be from

port
25 outgoing to be filtered when coming from "untrusted" networks.
Therefore, you have one other option involving SSH, but allowing you to
use your local mail client. Minotaur.apache.org is configured to allow
SMTP relaying via the localhost interface. So what you do is set up an
SSH tunnel that connects your own localhost port X (X can be any value
above 1024) to minotaur's localhost port 25; then in your mail client
configuration, you set your SMTP server to be "localhost", port X.
When
you send a message, your mail client will connect to localhost:X,
relayed
over your SSH connection to localhost:25 on minotaur. I do this,
though
not with apache.org's server.
In a similar way, you can use the POP service that runs on minotaur's
localhost interface. Tunnel to localhost:110.

Apologies if the answer to this question is obvious and I have just
not
stumbled on it; but I am having a hard time "legally" sending mail
from
my apache email address. Short of logging in to minotaur via ssh and
using pine, I know of no authenticated way to do this. I can't seem to
connect my Mozilla mail client via SMTP. From the headers on mails
from
this and other apache lists, it looks like some folks are just
modifying
the headers. I can set up my local sendmail to push
[EMAIL PROTECTED];
but that seems bogus to me. Even when I send from minotaur, the
headers
don't look right. Can someone give me a clue? What do other people
do?
Is there a doc on this somewhere?
