In this scenario,

    Box A   -   Machine which is reliable
    Box B   -   Machine we need to relay for.


- Use rsa/dsa keys
- Something like this for root authenticated via a public key may
work on Box A.

ssh -C -L 25:Box-B:25 -l root

Then send all data to localhost normally on port 25 on the box B.

Alternatively, to reverse this, i.e. Box A acts as the ssh server and
Box B as the ssh client.

ssh -C -R 25:Box-A:25 -l root

(debug via -v ofcourse).
