Hi Olga,
On 19 February 2001 at 05:31:32 -0800 (PST) (which was 13:31 where I
live) Olga Matskovsky wrote and made these points:
OM> It is HTTP proxy.
An HTTP proxy works differently from a mail (POP3/SMTP/IMAP) proxy.
HTTP normally runs through TCP port 80. When using a proxy, the proxy
server is defined in the system settings, usually using a mapped port
- - perhaps 8080. HTTP address requests are then mapped by the proxy
server, retrieved and then forwarded to the requesting user.
Mapping of SMTP ports (25) and POP3 ports (110) is not covered by an
HTTP proxy. Unlike HTTP proxy serving, these are ports usually
connecting to a fixed address and will likely need definition as in
192.168.1.1:8025 == smtp.host.com:25 (where 192.168.1.1 is the address
of the proxy server). This still leaves you completely stuck in
logging onto the proxy server to get your mail.
If this was me, I would contact your in-house network support and ask
whose bright idea it was to cut off free access to vital external mail
feeds :-). IMHO this is not your problem but a mistake by your
company's network services engineers.
