[Shorewall-users] Redirecting Mail Connection

Hi all...

My father-in-law has an account through MSN.  They block all outgoing
port 25 connections on their network.  This means he can''t send email
through his domain hosted on my server.  I had him configured to use
authentication and MSN''s outbound server.  Worked great until they
converted his email to web only.  He can''t use outlook to send mail
through their server anymore.

What I want to do is have his Outlook Express connect to my smtp server
on port 8025.  I already verified I can at least telnet out on that port
and hit my server (saw the DROP in my shorewall logs).  I don''t really
want to run another copy of qmail in memory just for him.  What I''d
like
to do is port forward the incoming port 8025 connection to port 25.  I
thought a rule like this would do it but no dice.

ACCEPT     net     fw::25     tcp     8025


Anyone have a suggestion on how I might go about this?  Or do I just
need to run another SMTP instance on my server?


Oh ya ... I''m running shorewall 1.3.2

Thank you,
Charlie
