sir i applied rules from iptables but this error still exists i can send you my iptalbles rules


Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dptop3
ACCEPT tcp -- anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:smtp
ACCEPT udp -- anywhere anywhere udp dpt:smtp
ACCEPT udp -- anywhere anywhere udp dptop3

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target prot opt source destination
ACCEPT tcp -- 192.168.3.0/24 mail.hostdepot.net tcp dptop3
ACCEPT tcp -- 192.168.3.0/24 mail.hostdepot.net tcp dpt:smtp
ACCEPT udp -- 192.168.3.0/24 mail.hostdepot.net udp dpt:smtp
ACCEPT udp -- 192.168.3.0/24 mail.hostdepot.net udp dptop3
ACCEPT all -- anywhere anywhere

plz sir tell me what should i do now i open all port but still i m at the same postion

no need to do all these if u r using the POP n SMTP server address directly in your outlook (POP and SMTP) of mail service provider.

if u r running ur linux box as mail router and and using sendmail then u have to provide the (smart.smtp) server address

tell me one thing are u able to receive the mails??

if not then add the foolowing line in the iptable

-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 110 -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 25 -j ACCEPT

then restart iptables service
this may solve ur prob.

or if this don't help u, try this command

service iptables stop (this stops the ipatble

just do it for testing.

r u running any antivirus, that also may cause problem like this.
just for test uninstall it, try, if the problem remains there, reinstall the antivirus but with a fresh copy

at very first


1.) is squid service running on the linux box

check it by using
ps aux | grep squid | grep -v -grep
or
service squid status
2.) check that are client r able to browse the internet from client machines

if all is ok

then i am giving u link, that will help u

squid is only for port 80/443 (http/http and ftp 21/20 (limited support). You need to specify direct IPS of SMTP and POP3/IMAP servers.
