ssh already has it -- port-forwarding. Here's a quick example: $HOME/.promailrc contains: :0 * ^Subject.*SSH.* | $HOME/start_forwarding $HOME/start_forwarding contains: #!/bin/sh /usr/local/bin/ssh -x -f -n -R 2112:localhost:22 my.outside.host 'sleep 86400' Now, sending mail with 'SSH' in the subject will create a tunnel from port 2112 on my.outside.host to port 22 on the inside host, assuming that the machine on the inside can make outgoing ssh connections (which is almost always the case). How's that? No perl required! (darren) -- If we can't be free at least we can be cheap.
