[X-Unix] Maintaining SSH connections *or* elegant management of multiple SMTP

[Norman Cohen]

Have you looked at Postfix Enabler? It provides a very nice way to turn 
on Postfix on your Mac and use it as your smtp server as well as 
setting up pop or imap access. You might want to set this up on your 
home machine with smtp authorization and ssl access (both configurable 
with Postfix Enabler). Using ssl, you would avoid having to keep a 
tunnel up and running, I think. Read the supporting documentation for 
the program. Also O'Reilly has a nice book out on Postfix and there are 
a total of 4 books on postfix at Amazon listed as of today.
