Hello Etienne Pretorius, I have rechecked my IPFW firewall rules on my squid proxy, but I don't think it's an issue with the firewall. My other FreeBSD squid servers with the exact configuration can connect to yahoo webmail service. For now, I am redirecting all traffic of yahoo mail to other proxy servers. It works but then it's not a solution. By the way, are any of you facing problems connecting to yahoo's webmail service?
