You dont have enought information, probably reading your logs can help. Is there anything that needs doing in order to allow those emails to go out most of them are php mailer but there are others sent with sendmail system.

Re: [squid-users] E-mails through Squid3.0 problems
Hi Jorge, I am not actually using a proxy for smtp, but my websites do send emails on a regular basis on a subscriptions, email confirmation and so on Now if for example a user registers he won't get an email to allow him/her to activate his/her account I have not set a proxy server for a mail server this is the php mailer it is built in the website Like forums, blogs etc... I do read my logs and there's nothing there to suggest that anything is being blocked there are some links which also read Fail to retrieve whatever from source but it doesn't help me. It doesn't say why, anyway there are a lot of things that aren't working anymore since I've installed Squid but if that continues then I am gonna have to uninstall it and do without, it's not just one area I need to fix or one problem that I need to solve there are far too many Thanks for you reply Regards Adam - Original Message - From: Jorge Armando Medina jmed...@e-compugraf.com To: squid-users@squid-cache.org Sent: Tuesday, April 06, 2010 4:47 PM Subject: Re: [squid-users] E-mails through Squid3.0 problems

If the webpages (forms) that generate emails are reachable and the answers get processed, then, regardless what proxy setup you have, the problem you describe is a firewalling or mailer configuration issue. In neither case is the squid mailing list the appropriate place for respective discussions. Nevertheless, some basic hints: - make sure that the mailserver configured in the mail script is reachable from the machine the script is run on (i.e. where you webserver is running). You can check this by doing a telnet to port 25 of the mailserver. If it is not reachable, look for firewalling issues and the obvious spelling errors etc. - check the mail configuration (and the mailer logs) by sending a message by hand from the same machine as above. This will tell you whether your mail system works generally. If you see errors here, check your MTA configuration and documentation. Another note: to me this mail sounds like you are mixing up your test environment and your production system. With complex pieces of software like webservers, PHP, proxies, MTAs and so on, this is never a good idea. HTH, Jakob Curdes
Re: [squid-users] E-mails through Squid3.0 problems
Hi there, Thanks for your reply I don't know how much you read of my post but maybe I need to explain a little bit more Picture this right? My websites were working, and I mean everything was working and that includes e-mails Because I used to send e-mail almost everyday, I don't have to manually go and send those emails I did say I use Php Mailer method, now NO email goes out. What has changed? Nothing except I installed Squid on another machine and everything now goes through squid, I didn't configure smtp to go through squid or anything like that, I use the default config and added few things to the config that has nothing to do with the email or any other application In the logs there is nothing indicating that emails are failing and even if it says mail failed etc.. what can I do, that is my question So I am not mixing up anything on my system, my system is still running as it used the only difference is that all of my websites (backend server) goes through Squid3 and only since that most things stopped working, so why is everybody denying the fact that Squid is blocking most of these apps from running properly? All I am asking if anyone knows how to fix this issue, while I am asking questions here I am also trying and reading on this mainling list to see if I can find an answer and this is not the only thing that doesn't work by the way.

The problem is that squid is simply incapable of doing what you are telling us - unless you configure it badly in a lot of ways. Squid cannot really prevent mails from leaving a system. The only possibility is that together with installing squid, you -perhaps inadvertently or through an install script that you used- changed some other aspects of your setup, like configured interfaces, IP addresses, firewall rules etc pp. You can check this easily by comparing the networking settings etc to your last backup before setting up squid. This is a standard suggestion that ois valid for any problem where you suspect a configuration error - go back to the previous state and compare, then redo steps. JC
