Its a Largish backpackers hostel, that have issues with infected
machines sending out SPAM, which the port redirection solves, with
scanning and rate limiting. However they have an issue where people have
auth setup for their 'normal' mail server, but due to the port
redirection to the hostel internal server, they fail Auth. So doing
this the hostels clients can send email without changing any setting on
their machines, and the hostel has virus and SPAM scanning on email on
the way out.
