        Just need login info for a mailbox on your server.  I can then behind my pfsense validate access using outlook 2007 and setup squid on my pfsense and work out what your doing wrong, etc.

        so from looking at my outlook 2007, the only proxy support it seems to have is when connecting to an exchange server using http/https - under the connections section outlook anywhere.

        If you are using proxy that prevents access directly out and only the proxy can connect out then you would need to setup your proxy to handle the connections on the ports your using and point your email client to the PROXY for server settings, pop, imap, smtp etc.  And then setup the proxy to connect to your outside server.

        I could test with using something like my google account with outlook - but would be better to use an actual account on your server so I can figure out exactly what your using be it pop or pop over ssl or imap or imap over ssl, be it you have to auth to your smtp server first before sending mail, etc. etc..

          thanks for such overwhelming response.

          I re_installed pfsense and my outlook started working . I guess there were some issues with the defaults rules. Also i had installed 2.0 , but now installed 2.1 version.

          Thanks again.

            no the default rules would allow ALL traffic..  From what I can tell is you removed the default rule and were creating your own, etc.
