Tony Perrie at Involution has done something really clever with Mail.app, SSH and port redirection.

But I can’t work out what it is.

Luckily Tony has left a note in the comments which explains it (thanks!):

I wanted to forward my outgoing through my Linux computer that’s hosted at a colocation center outside of work through SSH. So, my Powerbook acts like a sendmail server now, and forwards that traffic that is directly connected to the Internet from behind a firewall.
