Dear All, I am new to Linux and squid, but recently I have been able to setup fedora 6 + squid 2.5 with NCSA authentication (with due help of this list). I know that my new peoblem is not directly related to squid, but I have seen on google that lot of other users are also facing the same problem, and there is no easy guide from squid or linux users / administrator on the issue. When we (me and users) were having direct access to Internet our Outlook were also working perfectly, but as soon as I have installed fedora + squid + NCSA authentication, my users ( windows clients) are facing problem in downloading / sending mails though they can surf Internet. Every body is saying that this is not related to squid (as they work on different ports), but definatly it is a byproduct (at least sympotmatic) of Squid. Thus there is a need to have a simple howto for squid + outlook. I am still looking for help / document on it.
Where in your network is this Fedora/Squid box located? Do you have an IPTABLES firewall running on this box?
Is this problem just with MS Outlook or with other email clients such as Thunderbird, Eudora, etc?
When your clients are having problems downloading/sending emails, can your clients telnet to your Email server on port 25, 110 or 143?
While running telnet tests from your client's Windows machines, run tcpdump on your Fedora/Squid box and see if you can actually see traffic on the Outlook related ports such as 25 or 110.
Do access.log and cache.log say anything relating to your Outlook problem? Thanking you...
regards Arun
