I have about 4 Squid proxy servers running, 2 acting as HTTP
accelerators. Squid is an excellent proxy server, however only proxies 3
protocols HTTP, FTP and Gopher (which no one uses anymore). ISP's often
need something more, I've recently been looking at a server from Japan,
called DeleGate, it does almost all protocols you can think of, runs
under Linux and is free. I found it from www.freshmeat.com but have yet
to implement it (it is a complicated setup).

Hi

The proxy I'm using is Squid.

It's fast, reliable and supports HTTP, FTP, Gopher, etc.
Easy to configure thru its config file 'squid.conf'.
You can even be part of a cache hierarchy of several servers.

But I didn't try its authentication system.

Doesn't support POP3 nor SMTP.

BTW, does someone know a POP3 proxy that can stand 1+ Mb e-mails?
I tried wgpopp and it crashes with big files.

Thanks

Sylvain
