Every protocol can have its own, proxy :: port :: type ::
userid:: password :: bypass rules.
It appears that you are just setting your
system/schemes/default/proxy settings and not
defining any of the individual protocols -
system/schemes/smtp/proxy, etc. In the absence of
defining any individual protocol settings, rebol then uses the
default settings. In addition, if
you want to entirely disable proxy settings for a particular
scheme, you can set the proxy settings
to false.

Re:
Wrong answer.
My SMTP server is 'local'
on the WAN. It appears
that all IP traffic gets routed to the proxy
if
you define it in set-net. Our cern proxy is a
proxy, not a firewall. We use
a 'pac' file for
routing. This 'pac' file is usually loaded into
the
Browser as part of auto configuration. The
browser can then determine which
addresses are
'direct' (no proxy - on the WAN). All other addresses
are
sent to the proxy. This is a pretty standard
setup for a large
corporation.
The real answer here is that Rebol should not
proxy a
service unless proxy is defined for that
service. Especially those a 'cern'
proxy doesn't
handle. By default, only HTTP, FTP, and gopher
should be
sent to a proxy. All other services should
be sent direct unless a SOCKS
proxy is defined for
that service.

you cannot access external smtp

socks5
