Re: Been reading docs and I'm not clear

This is done from Home or where you have access, Setup your VPS server (System B) to listen with SSH on 8443 (if the allowed outbound from the Corporate firewall). You should use a second "Port" statement, not removing the other ones.

Port 8443

And then try without leaving *THAT* ssh session. Open a NEW terminal

ssh -p8443 -lyouruser yourhost.yourvps.com

Ensure it is good. Fix if needed.

Here is a config example for your Desktop (System A.)

This config setups the redirects pointing at your hosted mail server (System C) through you VPS server (system B)

greg@omg:~ [0] $ cat ~/.ssh/config

Host redirects 

        Hostname yourhost.yourvps.com

        Port 8443

        #Outgoing mail delivery sstmp/esmtps

        LocalForward    1465     hosted.mailserver.com:465

        #Inbound mail pickup (IMAPS)

        LocalForward    1993     hosted.mailserver.com:993      

        # Inbound imap, not needed is using imaps

        LocalForward    1143     hosted.mailserver.com:143

Then just point your mail client at "localhost" or 127.0.0.1 with the proper port for the proper service and it is done.
