Thank you for pointing out about Windows ISA server.

ISA server is Microsoft's proxy server which runs on
Windows 2000 etc.

I am behind that proxy server & I don't know how could
I tell fetchmail to resolve "naqoosh.com" through the
proxy server & fetch mail ?

If my system is directly connected to the net I am
able to fetchmail from naqoosh.com with the same
settings but how could I do so behind the proxy ?

Any help in this regard will be highly appreciated.

Thank you,

-Meraj Khattak
