I am not able to solve a simple problem of allowing a group of IPs to use yahoo email through SQUID. I have created two access list in squid.conf
test
yahoo
test defines the source ip list and yahoo defines
.yahoo.com as an allowed entry.
http_access allow test yahoo
is given in the squid.conf.

The problem is that users can see the emails but can not reply or compose new email.

Please Help.


Thanks
