Hi there,
Thanks for your reply
I don't know how much you read of my post but maybe I need to explain a
little bit more
Picture this right?
My websites were working, and I mean everything was working and that
includes e-mails
Because I used to send e-mail almost everyday, I don't have to manually go
and send those emails
I did say I use Php Mailer method, now NO email goes out.
What has changed?
Nothing except I installed Squid on another machine and everything now goes
through squid, I didn't configure smtp to go through squid
or anything like that, I use the default config and added few things to the
config that has nothing to do with the email or any other application
In the logs there is nothing indicating that emails are failing
and even if it says mail failed etc.. what can I do, that is my question
So I am not mixing up anything on my system, my system is still running as
it used the only difference is that all of my websites (backend server) goes
through Squid3 and only since that most things stopped working, so why is
everybody denying the fact that Squid is blocking most of these apps from
running properly?
All I am asking if anyone knows how to fix this issue, while I am asking
questions here I am also trying and reading on this mainling list to see if
I can find an answer and this is not the only thing that doesn't work by the
way.
Regards
Adam

Hello All,
I am having a serious problem with my E-mail programmes, none of my
e-mails are going out
If I send e-mail from my website, they are not delivered as they used to
Confirmation, Subscription emails etc.. are not delivered
Is there anything that needs doing in order to allow those emails to go
out
most of them are "php mailer" but there are others sent with sendmail
system.
Any ideas please, this is very urgent and important more important than
anything else so far
I do not see where squid could enter into this picture. You cannot send
"E-mails through squid 3.0". If the webpages (forms) that generate emails
are reachable and the answers get processed, then, regardless what proxy
setup you have, the problem you describe is a firewalling or mailer
configuration issue. In neither case is the squid mailing list the
appropriate place for respective discussions.
Nevertheless, some basic hints:
- make sure that the mailserver configured in the mail script is reachable
from the machine the script is run on (i.e. where you webserver is
running). You can check this by doing a telnet to port 25 of the
mailserver. If it is not reachable, look for firewalling issues and the
obvious spelling errors etc.
- check the mail configuration (and the mailer logs) by sending a message
by hand from the same machine as above. This will tell you whether your
mail system works generally. If you see errors here, check your MTA
configuration and documentation.
Another note: to me this mail sounds like you are mixing up your test
environment and your production system.
With complex pieces of software like webservers, PHP, proxies, MTAs and so
on, this is never a good idea.
HTH,
