Read up on ssh tunneling, it's VERY powerful. As an aside, when I'm on
foreign networks I pin up an SSH tunnel to a trusted host and pass
everything I can through it - IMAP, SMTP, DNS, web traffic (via squid).
Not only does it avoid exposing data (think of all those plain text
services like FTP, POP, telnet....) it also solves the SMTP relay issue.
