Debugging SSL connections

We're experiencing odd delays when talking to our mail server over SMTPS (SSL). I just found this post which helps us debug it.

ngg.js and fgg.js site infections

One of our users visited a website that was infected with the ngg.js and fgg.js codes (they get injected into the HTML files on the server towards the end of the page).

We've blocked it in our squid configuration by:

# squid.conf

acl blocked_urls dstdomain "/etc/squid/blocked_urls.squid"
acl blocked_regex urlpath_regex "/etc/squid/blocked_regex.squid"

# Block some URLs
http_access deny blocked_urls
http_access deny blocked_regex

# blocked_urls.squid
.bjxt.ru
.njep.ru
.uhwc.ru

# blocked_regexp.squid
/fgg\.js
/ngg\.js

I won't explain this too much except to say that the blocked_urls file is designed to block top-level domains, while the regexp file is for blocking URLs using a regular expression.
