Hello,

This is my first post here, thanx to all of the stff of it.
I have read the following article:
http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-...uid-howto.html

which is about making a transperent proxy using squid. Everything is fine and http is running wonderful, but the problem is how can I make clients who are connected to this server to send and recieve mail ? They are unable to do so now, I have tried alot of iptables rules still didn't get to the answer.

Is there anyone who can help me ?

Best Regards,
ReMSiS

Assuming that eth0 (interface 0) connected to Internet and has 192.168.1.254 IP address.

Assuming that eth1 (interface 1) connected to LAN has 192.168.1.1 IP

*** Following two ruleset for outgoing SMTP requests ***
Iptables rules for eth0 SMTP outgoing client request to Internet

Code:

iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp -s 192.168.1.254 --sport 1024:65535 -d 0/0 --dport 25 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED -jACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -s 0/0 --sport 25 -d 192.168.1.254 --dport 1024:65535 -m state --state ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT

eth1 SMTP forwarded outgoing client request from LAN using POSTROUTING table

Code:

iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -p tcp -s 192.168.1.0/24 --sport 1024:65535 -d 0/0 --dport 25 -j SNAT --to 192.168.1.254
iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp -s 192.168.1.0/24 --sport 1024:65535 -d 0/0 --dport 25 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -s 0/0 --sport 25 -d 192.168.1.0/24 --dport 1024:65535 -m state --state ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT

*** Following two ruleset for incoming SMTP requests ***

eth0 SMTP incoming client request form Internet

Code:

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -s 0/0 --sport 1024:65535 -d 192.168.1.254 --dport 25 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp -s 192.168.1.254 --sport 25 -d 0/0 --dport 1024:65535 -m state --state ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT

eth1 SMTP incoming client request from LAN

Code:

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -s 192.168.1.0/24 --sport 1024:65535 -d 192.168.1.1 --dport 25 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp -s 192.168.1.1 --sport 25 -d 192.168.1.0/24 --dport 1024:65535 -m state --state ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT

Adjust IP and subnet and as per your setup.

Hope this helps!

Thanx rockdalinux for your support. I use eth0 for local with 192.168.0.1 for it and use 192.168.1.2 for eth1

How can I block the chatting ports like yahoo, msn messengers? and open pop3 110 ?

rockdalinux · #4 (**permalink**) 12-12-2006, 07:46 PM

POP3 from Lan

Code:

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -s 0/0 --sport 1024:65535 -d 192.168.1.2 --dport 110 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp -s 192.168.1.2 --sport 110 -d 0/0 --dport 1024:65535 -m state --state ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT

and pop3 from Internet

Code:

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -s 192.168.0.1/24 --sport 1024:65535 -d 192.168.1.2 --dport 110 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp -s 192.168.1.2 --sport 110 -d 192.168.0.1/24 --dport 1024:65535 -m state --state ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp -s 192.168.0.1/24 --sport 1024:65535 -d 192.168.0.1 --dport 110 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp -s 192.168.0.1 --sport 110 -d 192.168.0.1/24 --dport 1024:65535 -m state --state ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT

Make sure IP and subnet adjusted according to your setup.

To block Yahoo, MSN use port number with iptables

Ok lets finalize the case my script shall be like this:

iptables -A INPUT -j LOG
iptables -A INPUT -j DROP

am I right or wrong ?

B!n@ry · #6 (**permalink**) 13-12-2006, 11:40 AM

By the way the topology used is:
eth1 = 192.168.1.2 connected to internet by GW
GW for eth1 = 192.168.1.1
eth0 = 192.168.0.1 connected to internet by proxy server
Proxy = 192.168.0.1

By the way yesterday it worked fine using the original script

# if it is same system

# DROP everything and Log it
iptables -A INPUT -j LOG
iptables -A INPUT -j DROP

Today it stopped working. Now only the http is working mail and others are not !!!

Any suggestions ?

B!n@ry · #8 (**permalink**) 13-12-2006, 02:11 PM

The message I am getting when I try to send and retreive mail is:
Host lookup failed: mail.domain.com: Temporary failure in name resolution

B!n@ry · #9 (**permalink**) 13-12-2006, 02:41 PM

Ok I think I found the problem, when I was connecting from my PC on the LAN I didn't give the interface on it a DNS server IP. When I gave it a DNS Server IP which is a public IP everything went well which means that routing is working fine on my Squid Server.

The question now is:
Is it right to give a DNS server IP ? or the Proxy Server must do the resolution stuff by contacting the GW ?

monk · #10 (**permalink**) 13-12-2006, 06:00 PM

You need to provide DNS server IP; it is legal to use DNS server. You have two choices. One is setup caching DNS server on proxy and use the same.
Second is use ISP DNS server.

Both are fine. You can also use DHCP to distribute this info to windows/linux desktop system.
