Re: [squid-users] Squid + Outlook

Dear Tek,

Thanks for your intent to help.
I have updated squid to 2.6

Squid is loaded on the fedora 6 server which has two LAN cards (web &
Internal) and present sole purpose of this server is of Internet
sharing, which is doing perfectly. But outlook .......?

IPTABLES is not running on the box presently. (though I am planning to
activate that in very new future.)

All the mail clients are having the same problem on the lan windows
clients. Where as when I have tried same on the proxy server (where
squid is loaded), mail clients is working perfectly.

access.log has no record for this.

I haven't tried telnet from client.
