Oh, I'm sorry. I'm new to mailing lists. I'll keep that in mind.

However when I send a message to mailing list I am not a part of, do I receive the replies to my messages in my Inbox?

Regards, Aditya

IF:

 - shell account access is enabled
and
 - the user of that shell account can install programs
and
 - run these programs
then forwarding is possible.

For example, the user can install "slirp" which takes a tty and converts it into a ppp server. The user can then attach a pppd process to the other end of the tty.

Yes, but if it an ordinary user, with no administrative powers, then just disabling the TCP forwarding in the ssh daemon config should block all tunneling right?

Not automatically. However: (1) TAG mailing list members make a point of CCing querents under the assumption that they are not subscribed, specifically so that you do get copies, and (2) you or anyone else are of course very welcome to join the TAG mailing list. (See URL at bottom.) You might merely find following the discussions to be interesting, and eventually might wish to participate. That's how we get new members of The Answer Gang! ;->
