Please do -- it shouldn't do anything other than web stuff.

I did understand that.  (The port forwarding is on the server, not
something that anyone else should know about.)

What I'm saying is that it's a significant effort to maintain two bug

benefit since systems that are closed for HTTP and open for email are
very rare.  (And possibly also not the case here.)
