system
18
I’m having the same problem (with port 25 being used).
It only seems to affect outgoing messages though, so that’s not too bad. But still, it would be nice to get it all straightened out.
I’m running W2K, with Outlook 2003 and SpamEater.
The confusing thing is that even though the documentation says to change your mail client settings to point to 127… mine still has the original settings in there, and it’s working fine (and yes, incoming mail gets scanned—I tested it).
So both, Outlook and SpamEater point to my original mail servers, and Avast gives me an Outlook plugin info when I start up Outlook.
So - what’s the best thing to straighten things out here?
Should I point Outlook and SpamEater to localhost? Or leave Outlook alone (because of the Avast plugin) and only change SpamEater? Or do I need to use a different port number altogether?
