Dear All

I have redhat linux 9, configured transparent squid proxy along with iptables firewall. All my users acceessing their mails through outlook and my mail server is hosted with third party. We have pop3 and smtp address using that we are sending / receiving mails through outlook.

I want to restrict certain users to send mail only to specified domain like xyz@llspl.com should send mail xyz@ing.com. Is't possible through proxy? if yes, then kindly let me know the procedure.

Regards
Sakthi

Squid is a web proxy and it does not handle traffic from Outlook.

Email server applications like Sendmail and SpamAssassin can maintain whitelists of addresses per user of incoming mail in an effort to reduce spam.

You would need to get some sort of a mail proxy appliance or a reasonably advanced commercial groupware product to limit the outgoing mail by domain or address per individual user.
