Thank you for pointing out about Windows ISA
server.
ISA server is Microsoft's proxy server which runs
on
Windows 2000 etc.
I am behind that proxy server & I don't know how
could
I tell fetchmail to resolve "naqoosh.com" through
the
proxy server & fetch mail ?
Well, DNS is really a Linux problem - configure your
/etc/resolv.conf
to use the ISA server for DNS (I suspect).
my /etc/resolv.conf file
<resolv_conf>
nameserver 192.168.0.1
<resolv_conf>
It contains the ip address of the gateway / dns
server. For browsing I define 192.168.0.3 or 2 in
proxy's addresses.
As for using the proxy, the man page provides
details (just) on using
SSH tunnels etc. You're probably trying to do
something similar.
However it depends on what ISA server supports - if
it's socks you're
sorted (Google for "runsocks").
I asked the admin of ISA server, he told me that they
are using Socks4 on their server.
Yesterday I tried using runsocks (sock5) but I just
couldn't understand it properly. Any guidlines or
hints or online links for help in this ?
Alternatively, try opening up outbound port 110/TCP
(POP) or 143/TCP
(IMAP) on the ISA server.
The ISA admin has opened all these ports for me.
Even after going through the above I was not able to
fetchmail (same canonical dns name).
Any help in this regard will be highly apreciated.
Regards & thanks,
