I recently got mod_ssl running on squirrelmail  (thanks Jake Vickers), everything works great locally.   My problem is when I try to connect to my public ip on port 80 it connects fine to my qmail box on my lan I have a smoothwall firewall (it runs squid)  and I forward port 80 to my qmail box.   When I try the same with https on my public ip with port 443 With 443 orwarded on the firewall to the qmail box, the page cannot be displayed.   Any ideas where im going wrong? I think this has to do with the port and how it's handled. 443 is a SSL port, so it doesn't like to be rerouted from it's destination to a different IP address. You can connect to it on port 443 via the LAN IP, right? IE: https://192.168.1.15:443 ? I think your router is trying to do the intelligent thing and rewrite the packet so that it doesn't need to leave the firewall just to come back in, which is probably what is messing up the SSL. I won't harp, but you shouldn't have a public server in your LAN...
