Re: [squid-users] Fwd: Squid SPAM Block Question

The default Squid configuration does not allow Squid to be abused for
SMTP spamming unless you intentionally opens it up.

Neiher does a reasonably configured squid.conf allow users from anywhere
to use the proxy.

However, firewalling is recommended to protect Squid from DoS issues.
