[squid-users] Urgent Yahoo Error"unable to process request at this time -- error 999"

Dear Users,

My customers are facing problem in accessing yahoo mail. Below is ther
correct error.

Yahoo Error"unable to process request at this time -- error 999"
Let me specify my server configuration. I am using Redhat 9. I am using
squid to filter porn websites and caching is also enabled.

According to the searches this error is temporary but for my case it is
permanent because when customer opens http://mail.yahoo.com/ all request
goes to squid proxy server. So yahoo gets always same ip of squid proxy
server. So I am my customers gets this error always. My customers are having
real ips. Is there any way to send " Yahoo " request directly, by passing
the squid proxy server.

I have made a iptables rule like this.

iptables -A PREROUTING -t nat -p 6 --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3128 -i
eth1 -d ! 66.218.64.0/19

66.218.64.0/19 is the mail range for yahoo. but i dont it doest work
correctly.

Any Ideas.....................plz share.

Does any one facing this type of problem????

Thanks,

Joel
