Have set http_proxy="myserver:port" and ftp_proxy="myserver:port" I can browse and ftp normal files on the net but mail does not work from local machines and yum will not work on any other machine but the server. > This is one of those situations where I have to ask this question: > are you doing anything else that we could consider "strange" that you > haven't told us about?
