Postfix Mailserver connecting to ISPs SMTP-server via Proxy/Router

Hello!

I would like to install a Postfix-Mailserver.

My question:

As I use a Proxy/Router (Squid/iptables) to connect to the Internet i also would like to user this connection for mail drop / fetch.

How can I tell Postfix to do so ?

Thanks!!

And yes, I will search at google but maybe this is faster....

I'm not aware of modules for squid for the smtp protocol.

If the proxy is the only connection to the internet, users will be restricted to webmail services.
