ssh tunnel? Can you be a bit more specific please? I would like to know about it more.
For example, to tunnel your.shell.server port 25 (the smtp port on your shell server) to localhost port 2525 you would do -
$ ssh -2 -C [EMAIL PROTECTED] -L 2525:localhost:25
That'd establish a tunnel between localhost:25 on the shell and localhost port 2525 on your desktop linux box (you can also do this with PuTTY on windows - google for howtos)
Then point your mail client (or set a qmail smtproute) to direct all traffic through localhost:2525.
The mail will then go out through that shell server.
I hope you are not taking this personally. I meant/mean that I certainly won't like to have a paid email account on a server where people on dial-up cannot send mails. Come'on we are in India. Most of us are on dial-up.
Use a dialup by all means - just set your qmail or whatever to smarthost through your ISP's smtp server or some other smtp server you have access to using smtp auth.
75-80 MB??? Is that mistyped o misunderstood by me? 80Mb email is hardly anything.
80 Mbits mail traffic per day would go to something like 90..100 million emails a day. Hardly anything? Sure.
The problem again is in my /var/qmail/control/smtproutes file lists.sourceforge.net:some-domain.com
Now I want to send mail from some-other-domain.com to lists.sourceforge.net, but when I send the mail the mail insists on going out of some-domain.com which rightly rejects it. In this situation how do I send mails to lists.sourceforge.net?
Is the smtp server on some-domain.com set up to relay for your dialup IP? Either it supports pop before smtp ... or it is compiled with AUTH support, then it can relay for you.
In this situation you'd set up a smarthost that uses AUTH in smtproutes (and patch serialmail or qmail-smtpd to auth to the smarthost).
Or if you are on a dishnet dialup you'd use dishnet's smarthost there in the smtproute (this is not recommended given the extreme stupidity of ISPs like dishnet - but there are lots of free providers out there who give free shells, and free smtp auth capable accounts - or there are lots of webhosts that support smtp auth for roaming clients, and offer unlimited email addresses for a domain, at $9.95 a month and up).
Hmm you could use an isp like satyam - they use qmail, which you seem to like (I hate qmail though)
