I got strange issues with SMTP, POP and HTTP proxies...
Here are my tests and the strange results :
- enable HTTP, SMTP and POP proxies.
- disable HTTP, SMTP and POP proxies and verify these trafics aren't allowad to go out directly in packet filter.
- reboot ASL box
- try to surf => impossible because HTTP proxy is off (that's normal)
- try to get mail => impossible because POP proxy is off (that's normal)
- try to send mail => impossible because SMTP proxy is off (that's always normal)
- start HTTP proxy
- try to surf => it's always impossible even waiting many minutes between retries (that's strange and seems an issue)
- start SMTP proxy
- try to send mail => it's always impossible even waiting many minutes betwwen retries (that's strange and seems an issue)
- try to get mail => it works !!! virtually impossible (because POP3 proxy is off and no direct trafic allowed) but it works !!!
that seems another issue.
- start pop3 proxy (all proxies are now on)
- try to send mail => always impossible (not normal)
- try to surf => always impossible (not normal)
- try to get mail => it always works but AV scanning do not work so it's not sure that's trafic go rigth through ASL box...
and finally I've totally lost connection with ASL box under internal network... => power on/off ASL needed !!
Note after the reboot, the SMTP/POP and HTTP were active.
I was then able to surf and to get mail but not to send mail !!!
To be able to send mail, I had to disable/enable smtp proxy once more.
I've verified my config which seems OK. But "L'erreur est humaine" as we say in french, so if you have and idea jsut give it to me !!!
PS : I'm working on a fresh install of ASL 5.005 updated to 5.006 and next in 5.007.
