The point is that I am running a firewall with sendmail loaded as an email server. I WAS having trouble passing out HTTP packets thru IPFW, and could not seem to get the right rule to pass thru HTTP packets. I loaded up squid, and my HTTP packets went right through. My sendmail works great. My users had email accounts on other systems, and wanted to set up Outlook Express to access outside systems through the firewall. The firewall is not letting Outlook clients access POP3 servers outside the firewall. I have tried every rule I can think of, and can't seem to get it to work! Since I had such great luck with Squid and HTTP, I thought that I would next try and see if such an animal as a POP3 proxy exists. Unless somebody has a great IPFW rule that will allow me to pass POP3 packets..... I sent a message a couple of days ago for help about this, and didn't get any response. Thanks for your help.
