I thought that was the port used by the exchange server, so wasn't
expecting anything listening on it. So outlook must be using RPC's to
connect to exchange server. Thanks for the clarification. I verified
that other privileged ports can be forwarded with no problem. I will
look around more for any webpages on how ssh port forwarding can be
used in this case. I am only finding those that claim that it can be
used, but no information on how.
