Re: [squid-users] Squid proxy and outlook express

Simplest solution:
In our setup the default gateway IP issued by DHCP server is that of our
ADSL router. All ports are blocked on the router's built-in firewall
except 25 and 110 so that email is inrestricted. Nothing else gets
through. To access the www, browsers are configured to use Squid as the
http proxy.

Outlook Express does use Internet Explorer settings, but doesn't use the
proxy settings. It basically ignores those.

Hello Matus.

Thanks for you reply.But i have a concern.Don't you think there should
be a way to bypass the proxy for the outlook express to be able to
send and receice email trhought the same internet connection.All the
Windows clients can actually browse on the net throught the proxy.But
those that use outlook express can not get connected.

Hope to read soon.Thanks
