Many times the sshd.conf file has port forwarding disabled. Try to forward
port 25 mail to local 14141 which would prove the sshd config, as well as
availability of 14141 locally.

If the local node has VCS running, localport 14141 is already taken and the
port forward will fail. Throw a -v option on ssh to see if the forward is
being setup correctly.
