# A SMTP-over-SSH Port Forwarding Scrpt
# Copyright (c) 2010 Linode, LLC
# Author: Philip C. Paradis <pparadis@linode.com>
# Modifications: Sam Kleinman <sam@linode.com>
# Usage: smtp-tunnel [start|stop]
# Forward smtp traffic over ssh to a remote mailserver.

## Edit these values to reflect the authentication credentials for the
## SMTP server with which you wish to connect and send mail. If you
## have chosen to run your mailserver on your linode using an
## alternate port, modify the `$remote_port` value. You should not
## need to modify the `$remote_ip` value.

$remote_user = "REMOTE-USER";
$remote_host = "REMOTE-HOST";
$remote_port = "25";
$remote_ip   = "127.0.0.1";

## Modify these values if you are running a local SMTP server on port
## 25, or if you need to start the tunnel as a non-root user, as
## OpenSSH only allows root users to start tunnels to low-numbered
## "privileged ports." If this is the case you will also need to
## modify the configuration of your local mail sending agent.

$local_ip    = "127.0.0.1";
$local_port  = "2525";

## You do not need to edit this file beyond this point.
