The Server having two nic cards, one card is having the ipaddress as
"192.168.1.4" and the other one is having the ipaddress as
"192.168.2.55".All client systems having the ipaddress range
"192.168.2.0/24",and
the client system are accessing the internet through squid proxy.Now i want
to configure the "Mozilla thunderbird" in all client systems.But it cannot
accessing through squid proxy.
Now i made the proxy as transparent,still it was not working and i also
done the NAT through iptables by
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth1 -p tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to
192.168.2.55:3128
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT
--to-port 3128
What is your Thunderbird configuration ? Do you expect thunderbird to
contact SMTP/IMAP/POP3 servers on port 80 ?
Typically, SMTP/IMAP/POP3 servers run on a non-80 port. Unless, you
configure thunderbird to use a HTTP tunnel, by specifying a proxy. Have
you done that ?
If your proxy supports HTTP tunneling, you should test whether tunneling
works on the destination host/port in question. Refer to the following
link to run your test,

Unfortunately, I don't have a proxy setup right now to give you the
steps myself but I am sure the link above should suffice.
