Hello,
I am using a Opensuse12.3 with squid as a gateway & squid though its
not transparent! I would like to know how to do the following
1. Allow the following port have access in the network; ports 25, 110,
465, 995 and other specific ports required for specific mail servers
to work.
Two problems with this.
1) Squid is an HTTP proxy not an email server.
2) Opening these ports in any way through Squid turns it into an "open
proxy" and permits spamming or other email abuse through your server.
2. The squid seems to slow down after a few hours on the job; although
there are a few clients on transparent and a few on non-transparent
proxies here! Is there any script or such that will make the squid box
refresh itself every few hours or so?
What? please define "slow".
3. The clients who are not using the proxy are doing so due to the
fact that they won’t be able to pull and or push their emails due to
firewall restrictions from the squid!
Squid is not a firewall.
Check the actual firewall settings on the box Squid is running on.
Perhapse that is what is getting in their way.
4. After a few days can we release the contents of the squid so as not
to have a filled up squid?
What contents and why?
