The SOCKS host should be localhost in your mail client or web browser instead of mylinuxbox.com Yes, you are right.

BUT then.... quote "... Enter mylinuxbox.com for the SOCKS Host and 1234 for the Port. Tick the "SOCKS v5" radio button..." ??? r u sure ? didnt u entered "localhost : port 1234" as SOCKS server on your mail-client on the win box ?? did i missed something ? thanks fer hint.

as long i understood we got the following scenario here:
win-box ====== Firewall blocking port 25 traffic === inet ==== some Linux box with SSHD

on your win box is your email client that would reach the mailserver on your linux box, right ?

u start SSH with port redirection on your win box TO YOUR LINUX box. so ssh link now is up and port is redirected.

now u configure your mail-client on win-box to use a SOCKS v5 Proxy instead of direct linking to target server. ok for that… BUT then….

quote “… Enter mylinuxbox.com for the SOCKS Host and 1234 for the Port. Tick the “SOCKS v5″ radio button…” ???

r u sure ? didnt u entered “localhost : port 1234″ as SOCKS server on your mail-client on the win box ??

did i missed something ? thanks fer hint.
