Hi,

Issue : Unable to use gmail account through outlook
What iptables rules that I should put in place

This is my setup

Eth3 – 10.0.0.47 – Local Lan

Pop.gmail.com – port 995
Smtp.gmail.com – port 465

Post your current iptables configuration.

iptables -t nat -L
iptables -L

Currently there is no iptables rules.
I have flushed it using iptables -F and saved it empty.

You will need to create a link between the two interfaces.
I have set up a similar box recently, I used iptables to achieve what I needed.

Can you get to any websites when using your local network Eth3?

sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
iptables -I FORWARD -o eth0 -j ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE

copy it in /etc/rc.local so these rules get executed after reboot. You can further customize according to your security needs. See iptables in detail, its a great tool.
