Squid is only capable of proxy-ing HTTP traffic. It can't do anything for IMAP/POP/SMTP. The configuration is required to be done on your network perimeter device by creating an access control list (ACL) that allows outbound IMAP/POP/SMTP. If you're using Gmail, the network admin needs to create a rule that allows connection from your machine to ports 465 or 587 (SMTP) and 993 (IMAP) of the gmail mail servers. In most scenarios, the firewall/gateway is configured to forward all HTTP traffic to the squid host (or to a port running squid on the same host) and either drop or directly allow connections that are not HTTP. > >> >> On Thu, Apr 22, 2010 at 9:39 AM, BR!j!TH <[email protected]> wrote: >>> >>> Me too interested in this topic.I too have the same issue.I have already >>> posted this query in many mailing list.
