most config files are in /etc e.g. lynx.cfg wget.cfg, search for
the word proxy in there ..

I've never heard of a MTA that could use a HTTP proxy so I
don't know here. If there is another mail server on the
LAN (e.g. a 'master' server) you can configure postfix to
relay all messages to it using the relayhost directive

most games I've seen do not support http proxys, nntp, not
sure, haven't seen any readers that support http proxys,
jabber, may work depending on your client, try the different
jabber clients, I've only tried 1 or 2 and didn't notice http
proxy support
