 I'm setting up a Socks firewall on a Red Hat linux 2.1 and I'd like to have another linux box outside the 
 Firewall as a web and a mail server.  The problem is that M$Outlook / eudora does not support socks, 
 so the users would have a hard time getting their mail (since most of them don't even dare to use
 telnet and must use some idiot proof software like M$ outlook)

 The reason I use linux/socks is because that it is he cheapest solution I know of.

 How can I allow them to go through the firewall without compromising security?

 Thanks
 
 Brynjar
