    Hi everyone,

    I'm trying to figure out exactly what kind of work would be needed to
    allow myself to relay mail through my new server. Right now I'm
    portforwarding through another server using:
            ssh -L 8025:localhost:25 mail.domain.com
    and a minor fix locally to postfix to relay mail through
            relayhost=[127.0.0.1]:25

    The server is running Debian stable with postfix and SSH. I've tried
    looking through a number of other documents, but I'm just getting turned
    around. Out of the following, is there any one specific set up that is
    recommended?

            http://www.metaconsultancy.com/whitepapers/smtp.htm#s6

    I think it's the concept of authentication that I'm getting confused by.
    If I'm SSHing into the box to do port forwarding (as above), what kind of
    authentication am I doing?

    thanks,
    emma
