Panther, ssh and mail

[avri at psg.com]

Hi,

I just upgraded (i think it was an upgrade - jury is still out on that) 
to 10.3.2 from 10.2.8 (i think).

In 10.2 i had no problem using up an ssh localforward from 14025 to 
remotehost:25 and then using localhost port 14025 for mail smtp 
purposes.  my forwarding commands are in a .ssh/config file and they do 
seem to be being picked up - localforward of 14110 to 110 for pop works 
fine.

This not longer seems to work and I can't figure out why.  does anyone 
know of any changes or is anyone doing this successfully.

There is, at least,  one anomaly in the ssh debug stuff:

debug1: Connections to local port 14110 forwarded to remote address 
group.com:110
debug1: Local forwarding listening on ::1 port 14110.
debug1: fd 4 setting O_NONBLOCK
debug1: channel 0: new [port listener]
debug1: Local forwarding listening on 127.0.0.1 port 14110.
debug1: fd 5 setting O_NONBLOCK
debug1: channel 1: new [port listener]
debug1: Connections to local port 14025 forwarded to remote address 
group.com:25
debug1: Local forwarding listening on ::1 port 14025.
debug1: fd 6 setting O_NONBLOCK
debug1: channel 2: new [port listener]
debug1: Local forwarding listening on 127.0.0.1 port 14025.
debug1: fd 7 setting O_NONBLOCK


i.e. it is setting up to listen to port 14025 on two channels.   Can 
figure out why, don't remember it ever doing that under 10.2.6 but 
can't swear to it.  And am not sure what the effect of that would be.

BTW, the .ssh/config is:

Host group.com
         Localforward 14110 group.com:110
         Localforward 14025 group.com:25

I use the regular OSX mail app and the rest of the behavior seems 
normal.

Any suggestions?

thanks.
