avast 4,5 and client "GeMail"

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security
1

hello,
my mail-client is “GeMail” on windows 98-SE and I d’ont arrive that avast 4.5.518(just installed), even so (though!) transparent proxy, scans incoming and outgoing mails !?
“Gemail” not appears in Mail Protection Wizard…
very grateful for help !! (because practical knowledge limited)
thank-you in advance,
horbar

Sorry, transparent mail scanning is only available on Windows NT/2000/XP. Since you have Win98, you’d have to reconfigure GeMail manually (just as it was in avast 4.1)

Thanks

Hi, I have installed GeMail and test it with avast! Internet Mail Provider and everything works fine, so there is no problem. avast! supports GeMail in current version, so you can use it .<
…but nothing about what can be the reason ,that it does’nt
as well,also go with me, although all done as recommended ?
very grateful for any help,
horbar

Your email client and SpamPal should be at the same smtp port number (for instance 26). Remove the smtp ports of SpamPal and add 26 if you need. In your email program, choose advanced settings of the email account.

avast could stay on port 25. Do nothing.

Can you test?

Also the problem could be at the smtp authentication… Could you please post this window too?

11

hallo technical,

…my email client and SpamPal have the same smtp port number as you see in the attachments(252)…but I changed it now for both in smtp-Port 26 as you say…
in my email-Program (GeMail) does’nt exist “advanced settings”…but I think,the settings there are ok.
… a new test was still negativ !
You say: “the problem could be at the smtp authentication”
please tell-me,what can I do in this case ?
and please look the new attachment “avast4.ini”
Thank you very much for your help:

hallo technical,

a “New Poll”?), what have I to set in"Question" and the different numbers which appears than ?
thanks…horbar

Horbar, it’s a little difficult to understand you. I’ll suggest some things. First, do not write dots … … but try to let us know what is happening. If you do not know how, a screenshot like you posted before will be good. A picture says more than words :wink:

About posting in FireFox, I’m not the best one to answer. But I’m almost sure it’s a script problem. Probably you should install a Firefox extension to do so. There is a group of ‘smiles’ available for Thunderbird and could be for Firefox too.
Anyway, don’t worry too much by know. Let’s solve your email problem.

You said that a new test was still negative, what do you mean?

14

Technical,
…you sad: set the port 26 in mail client and spampal and “can you test”…that is what I did.
…You say: “the problem could be at the smtp authentication”
please tell-me,what can I do in this case ?
Which screenshots do you like to see?

Did it work? I mean, did avast scan the email?

Test:

  1. username@smtpserveraddress
  2. #smtpserveraddress
  3. username#smtpserveraddress

and your password:

  1. let it blank
  2. write it and choose to remember it

Did it work? I mean, did avast scan the email?
No, it did not work for smtp but it works perfectly for pop3- incoming mails
Test: 1) username@smtpserveraddress 2) #smtpserveraddress 3) username#smtpserveraddress
only : #smtp.telefonica.net and : barnew$telefonica.net#pop3.telefonica.net@localhost please see the attachments . I work without password ! horbar

Horbar, would it be possible to gather some simple facts?

  1. What is your mail provider? (SMTP server)? Is it telefonica.net? Is it pop3.telefonica.net? Is it smtp.telefonica.net?

  2. What is you login name to that SMTP telefonica server if it requires authentication? Is it barnew? Is it barnew$telefonica.net? Is it barnew@telefonica.net?

  3. What format does Spam Pal requires? It appears that it is using a SMTP authentication in a similar way as avast! So should you (according to SpamPal manual) setup you client to authenticate as:
    username$put_your_smtp_here.internet.somewhere?

  4. On which port spam pal listens?

  5. On which port avast! listens?

  6. do you want to scan for viruses before spam pal gets the mails or after spamPal gets them?

Thanks,
Lukas

1.)My provider is “telefonica.net” / for incoming-mails is
pop3.telefonica.net /
for outgoing-mails is smtp.telefonica.net.
2.)it depends wich account
for example: barnew$telefonica.net
3.) Spampal needs a different smtp-port …accordingly
I set 252…because avast use 25.( look at attachment)
Consequently register in my mail-client is:
“barnew$telefonica.net#pop3.telefonica.net@localhost”
and this has to be correct,because for incoming-mails
avast works absolutly perfect.
4.) pop3-1110 / smtp-252
5.) pop3- 110 /smtp-25
6.) avast is working before spampal
thank you very much for your help!!! :slight_smile:

Ok, first thing. What is the purpose of running Spam filter on outgoing email? Trying to stop some of the emails from you, if you accidently happen to send spam? Or just training you spam software?

My first solution would be to skip the spam pal during SMTP sends. That would mean this:
Mail client

SMTP server: localhost
SMTP port: 25
SMTP requires authetication: checked
SMTP username: barnew$telefonica.net#smtp.telefonica.net (or just #smtp.telefonica.net for those your accounts which don’t require SMTP auth.)

If you really insist on running spampal on smtp, than you should setup it like this:

Mail Client

SMTP server: localhost
SMTP port: 25
SMTP requires auth.
SMTP username: barnew$telefonica.net#localhost:252 (or just #localhost:252 for those your accounts which don’t require SMTP auth.)

Spam Pal - Port properties

Local Port Number: 252
Server: smtp.telefonica.net

Hope this helps.
