Transparent proxy and HTML email.

For the last couple of weeks I have been trying to resolve an email problem. The graphics (GIF, JPEG etc) associated with the HTML links have stopped appearing in the emails.
The only thing that has changed in this period is the Astaro 7.500 Up2Date. I have not made any configuration changes in this period.
Looking at the Content Filter (HTTP/S) logs from before and after shows a difference but I do not know about it. Here is are two entries generated by emails from the same source on 05-10-2009 (displayed fine on receipt) and 20-10-2009 (did not display on receipt):-

Note:- Each of these line appeared twice (with different request codes)


Has anyone got any suggestions?

Many thanks,

Peter.

  • If there's not an easy answer, and this only happens with the one site, then you could add MSC/JL Industrial Supply Co. to the transparent mode skiplist.

    Still, I'm surprised that there's nothing in your IPS log unless you have IPS turned off.  I would have looked there for blockage of DNS, but that doesn't seem to have been the case.

    Statuscode="400" => "The request could not be understood by the server due to malformed syntax."  So, if the problem is only with that site, I wonder if THEY didn't change something in the period between the 5th and the 20th.

    Cheers - Bob
