I work as a contractor for a certain agency that has a locked down network. The only thing going in or out is http, https and SSH.
I got POP3 to work by forwarding the POP3S port like this: ssh MyHostOnTheNet.net -L 995:mail.MyCorporateMailServer.com:995 Which seems to work just fine. With SMTP it is a little different story and can't seem to make sense of why it does not work. I'm using Evolution 2.12.3 on CentOS Linux 5.2 Here's how I have it set up: In 'Sending Email' tab: Server Type: SMTP Server: localhost Server requires authentication [Checked] Security: SSL Authentication Type: Login On my workstation I have done the following: ssh MyHostOnTheNet.net -L 465:mail.MyCorporateMailServer.com:465 On my HostOnTheNet I do a tcpdump for port 465 and hit the send recieve on Evolution on my workstation. I see the traffic going back and forth between MyHostOnTheNet.net and mail.MyCorporateMailServer.com so I believe the tunnel is set up correctly. If I telnet to port 465 on localhost and issue a EHLO I get the following: # telnet localhost 465 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1). Escape character is '^]'. 220 scires.com GroupWise Internet Agent 7.0.2 HP Copyright (c) 1993-2007 Novell, Inc. All rights reserved. Ready EHLO 250-scires.com 250-AUTH LOGIN 250-8BITMIME 250-SIZE 250-DSN 250 STARTTLS So I think I have the port correct as well, but sending messages just sits and hangs and never goes through. TIA for the help.
