I do not see where squid could enter into this picture. You cannot send
"E-mails through squid 3.0". If the webpages (forms) that generate
emails are reachable and the answers get processed, then, regardless
what proxy setup you have, the problem you describe is a firewalling or
mailer configuration issue. In neither case is the squid mailing list
the appropriate place for respective discussions.

Nevertheless, some basic hints:
- make sure that the mailserver configured in the mail script is
reachable from the machine the script is run on (i.e. where you
webserver is running). You can check this by doing a telnet to port 25
of the mailserver. If it is not reachable, look for firewalling issues
and the obvious spelling errors etc.
- check the mail configuration (and the mailer logs) by sending a
message by hand from the same machine as above. This will tell you
whether your mail system works generally. If you see errors here, check
your MTA configuration and documentation.

Another note: to me this mail sounds like you are mixing up your test
environment and your production system.
With complex pieces of software like webservers, PHP, proxies, MTAs and
so on, this is never a good idea.
