   Let me intervene here and explain this special "TorMail" case:   
      
   Mail client: Message creation   
     |   
     v Local SMTP port   
   OmniMix: Header filtering and sorting   
     |   
     v Local SOCKS port   
   Tor gateway   
     |   
     v Internet --------------------   
   Sender's Tor entry node   
     v   
     v Up to 8 further hops   
     v   
   Tor rendezvous point   
     v   
     v Up to 8 further hops   
     v   
   Recipient's Tor entry node   
     | Internet --------------------   
     v   
   Tor gateway's Hidden Service   
     |   
     v Local SMTP port   
   Hamster: Mail storage   
     ^ Local POP3 port (asynchronous)   
     |   
   Mail client   
      
   A packet filter only allows the aforementioned local connections.   
   Except for both Tor instances all external connections are blocked.
