When using smtp and pop I don't think you'll be using Squid. And if you would, this would be the wrong mailinglist for asking support. You fail to say what your setup is and what you have tried already but I guess you need this : $ipt -A FORWARD -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT $ipt -A FORWARD -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 25 -j ACCEPT $ipt -A FORWARD -m state --state NEW -p tcp --dport 110 -j ACCEPT You can read up on Netfilter at : http://iptables-tutorial.frozentux.net/iptables-tutorial.html Gr, Rob
