I have installed FC5 on a machine which I am planning to use as the mail

Make sure that you have specified reachable DNS servers in
/etc/resolv.conf and access to destination port 110 is allowed by your
firewall.
but
when i type in the same website address in firefox browser I am able to view
the web interface of my external mail server. I am not able to figure out
where I am going wrong.
This happens because in this case the name resolution is done by the
proxy server and not the system running FC5.
