Good Day to All,

Is there someone that could assist with the above.

regards
 
What's the question

The above system is in play however there is no service being pushed to the smartphones no matter what ports you open no matter how you configure the firewalls wether it be a BB android or ios
 
Well...
you'd have to specify whether you are trying to use Activesync,Pop3 or IMAP to access the mail
Are the Services running?
Can you connect to them in the network using telnet?
What type of internet connection your office has
Are the ports forwarded through any firewalls to the correct server?
 
Actsync, POP3 and IMAP are all running with services attached, we have not tried the telnet suggestion, will give it a bash, with regards to the internet connection it is fast and stable enough 2x 10s, all ports and firewalls that should be open for the smartphone support are open ...............
 
The gateway the Mail server uses should be the same as the Gateway used for incoming connections too,or it routes to nowhere
 
Thxs Psy, food for though will give your suggestions a spin........
 
Is squid running as a transparent caching server, or as an authenticated proxy? If it's transparent, it should only be interested in port 80 traffic, with the applicable firewall rule to redirect traffic. Your sync should really be running over some form of ssl/tls, so it should bypass the proxy and squid is not the issue here.
 
Exchange 2003.

There's your problem.

I tried it as well, could not get it to work.

But now it is working as we're running on Exchange 2010.

By the by, you should be able to get it to work with port 80, but do remember that by using port 80, you are sending usernames and passwords via cleartext, which makes it easy for ne'er-do-wells to sniff your usernames/passwords and start spamming, or hacking your server.
 
What has Squid have to do with exchange ? unless you enabled pop3 and smtp proxies on squid to act as a smart host ?
Its better to make use of sendmail or postfix for mail cus they focus more on the task

What i can tell you is that both work with smartphones.
I use it currently with squid to access the internet , with no extra modifications , the only thime i forsee having touble with squid is if you have enabled authentication via LDAP, but even then it should still popup with a username and password.

I got it to work on OWA Exchange 2003 and 2010 (Connecting it with the exchange option in the iphone/ipad & android, its called activeSync (2003 whats a bit of an issue but after some struggle i got it to work).
