Re: Problems while connecting to yahoo webmail service

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?
