I’ve installed Avast Home Edition and it’s working well. As I am also running SpamPal I had to change the ports that SpamPal listens out on to ports number 9025 from 25, and 9110 from 110. All works well, However I am now getting error messages to the effect that Avast can’t use port 143 as it is already in use. By SpamPal I guess. As I don’t use IMAP is there any necessity to set about changing port numbers in this case. If so How do I go about it, and from port number 143 to what?
May thanks
Pete, send an IM to Culpeper. He knows everything about SpamPal.
Regarding the changes needed for SpamPal, you can configure your email account manually. Your configuration must be:
SMTP server: 127.0.0.1
POP server: 127.0.0.1
account login: user name#isp name
Note: # and not @
smtp authentication on
user id: #smtp_address
password: blank or yours
Check to remember the password
Note: user id without user name
And into avast4.ini file at section [MailScanner]:
DefaultSmtpServer=127.0.0.1:25
DefaultPopServer=127.0.0.1:110
SmtpListen=127.0.0.1:25
PopListen=127.0.0.1:110
ImapListen=127.0.0.1:143
More information about the avast4.ini file you can see here and probably you will be able to solve the problem at port 143.
