Hi All,

To explain my scenario here in brief --

I have my host behind a corporate firewall as part of the company
network. POP3 port is blocked by the firewall. To reach to my gmail POP
server -- I will need setup port forwarding on some external host
(outside the firewall and with direct access to internet).

>From my local windows host -- I would generate the pop traffic on port
21 or 8080 (which will be allowed by my firewall) -- this pop traffic
will be targeted to the FORWARDING_SERVER -- which takes my pop traffic
and forwards it to the Gmail server on 995 port.

My question here is -- Are there any public FORWARDING_SERVERs
available ?

Free or priced. either is okay.

Thanks for any info.

Jonas

Another question you should consider: will they fire you when they
find out that you are deliberately subverting the corporate security
policy?

If you are in the USA, then there is likely more to the story than just
virus protection: many US corporations are now required by law to record
incoming and outgoing email -- I think it is in order to determine whether
"insider trading" (or leaks of insider information) are occuring.
A detected subversion of that recording requirement could land huge
fines upon a company, and that would surely have an effect on your
career.

Ask your admin to allow you to get to port 995 on the gmail server. If they
locked it down, they probably have a reason to - if you check your
employment T&C you may well find that accessing personal email outside of
the corporate mail system is restricted. By circumventing the restrictions
in place you might well find yourself looking for another job.
