Hi - well still no joy with this one, out of ideas. What I have found though is that plently of people have had problems with SM and firewalls. Not many answers to those who have. And none who have found an answer have the exact same problem that I'm facing ;-)
Again testing on my servers internal address works but composing / sending from my public facing IP *appears* to fail. Thought a snippet of the Apache logs might be of use. The 1st is from the test against the internal IP of my server: 192.168.246.174 - - [01/Jul/2005:13:24:24 +0100] "POST /src/compose.php HTTP/1.1" 302 5 "http://172.27.14.1:100/src/compose.php?mailbox=INBOX"; "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0)" 192.168.246.174 - - [01/Jul/2005:13:24:25 +0100] "GET /src/right_main.php?mailbox=INBOX&sort=6&startMessage= HTTP/1.1" 200 5158 "http://172.27.14.1:100/src/compose.php?mailbox=INBOX"; "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0)" The 1st line is when I click on "Compose" and the 2nd line is when I click on "Send". This test works perfectly well, in fact all of the SM install works. Now compare this against when I use the public facing IP: **my-ip-here** - - [01/Jul/2005:13:24:53 +0100] "POST /src/compose.php HTTP/1.1" 302 5 "http://mydomain-here/src/compose.php?mailbox=INBOX"; "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0)" So I get the 1st line as with the internal IP test, but the 2nd line is missing when I click "Send", the bit that calls "GET /src/right_main.php?mailbox=INBOX&sort=6&startMessage= HTTP/1.1" that just times out. And I get "Action canceled" in IE. I do receive the email though!! And clicking refresh refreshed the screen. Looking at these logs then maybe the problem is somewhere to do with the call to "GET /src/right_main.php?mailbox=INBOX&sort=6&startMessage= HTTP/1.1" and the firewall?? Anyway as ever, any help would be much appreciated.

The internet facing address is accessed via port 80 and then translated to the actual servers internal address on port 100. Apache is configured to listen on port 100. Port 80 CANNOT be used as this is used for another Apache instance running on that server. If I goto the internal address, login and compose a message the email is sent and received as expected. In fact ALL parts of squirrelmail work as expected. BUT if I goto the servers external address I can login and compose a message BUT when I hit the "Send" button I can see that IE is "Opening Page http://xxxxxxxxx/src/compose.php";. The right hand pane then goes blank after about 20 seconds and I get the IE error "Action canceled". BUT if I hit refresh, the page displays perfectly fine. I have tried this on a Linux machine using Firefox and Konqueror with the exact same results so I am pretty sure it's not IE being strange. All other functions of squirrelmail work fine when I access the external IP, just the "Compose" / "Send" part gives this error. DNS has been checked several times which is fine. Has anyone else seen this problem? I'm now completely out of ideas as to why this happens. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks - Julian.
