Re: [squid-users] Letting Outlook see users email

Hi Waitman,

Thanks for your reply.
My users can see email, but only in the linux box, sendamil is configured to
handle the mail, but the win boxes didn´t see the mail server, is not
because of firewall/nat becuase the only thing that it's configured right
now is ip forwarding, squid is configured following the white paper on
transparent proxy. So there is no firewall besides squid acls.
What I want to know is if there is a solution to this problem using squid,
(I just started to understand a bit the way it works), or I have to check
something else to allow the win boxes to see the UNIX local users email
using Outlook Express. Web mail such as hotmail accounts is working and so
does Messenger and ICQ, but my boss also wants to read his email on his
computer (a win box) instead of having to read it on the server.

Thanks again,

Regards,
