Hi all, I am having some problem with outlook with squid. When I enable squid proxy, I am unable to send or recieve mails on my outlook client. My current set up is as follow: Win Xp / Squid Proxy Server / MS outlook client 2010. I understand that Squid proxy is a HTTP caching proxy; how and why does it even affect the outlook client ? There have been numerous cases on this topic on the web, but I have yet to found out a solution. Can someone point me in the right direction? Seek enlightment ! Confused soul here. Thank you guys !

Answer Wiki:
Squid is a HTTP proxy and the email clients use POP3 or IMAP protocols. With default configuracion/environment I think you not be able to connect your MS Outlook through Squid.
Is needed some iptables rules to redirect traffic of those protocols to Squid.
Here are some tips, but I recommend you to read more because I am not expert in iptables:
First redirect all the traffic on port 80 to the proxy port, commonly 3128 like this:
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p TCP --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 3128
Then add a rule for every port used (25 and 110) in nat table for POSTROUTING (for packages as they are about to go):
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -p TCP --dport 25 -j MASQUERADE
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -p TCP --dport 110 -j MASQUERADE
Hope it helps you.
