I tested Spampal with the 1.73c release.

I use 1.73d. But Spampal works just fine, Avast ignores the traffic.

Just another thought … in your earlier configuration might you have also been using The Bat plugin of avast?

yep.

Sorry, but are you using The Bat! with avast plugin for The Bat! and it works… and avast does not work with other email accounts?

I used to use avast and spampal the difficult way, so localhosting on port numbers to chain them together. With transparency that should not be nescesarry anymore, so I reset The Bat! to standard values, IE pop.xs4all.nl port 110, and activated transparency in spampal. It looked to me like transparency was already set in avast with the redirect tab I assume (have dutch version)… But to my surprise avast did not scan any email anymore after that.

Are you using other local proxy application (annonymizer for instance)?

No

I just realised, would kerio qualify for this? It also scans traffic…

Ok but not pop3, smtp, imap protocols.
Web traffic will be blocked (nos scanned) by Kerio if you set so.
Which is your email account (at lest the provider name)?

provider is xs4all.nl servers pop.xs4all.nl and smtp.xs4all.nl accountname is deepcore

Sorry, should to ask before, but does them use SSL connection (like GMail, for instance)?

I can use ssl, but don’t for now.

trigger,

not clear to me if you are still using the Spampal proxy method. If you are and you want the email to be scanned by avast! then you must follow the instructions on customizing the Internet Mail provider that I gave earlier in this thread.

I think I made it clear enough that SpamPal IS running transparent and like a charm. So I do not use spampal in proxy method, because I don’t have to. I run avast in proxy style again now, because that will not do it’s job transparent… I have even disabled Spampal to see if that would make avast work transparent, but without luck.

• Is the avast “The Bat!” plugin making troubles maybe?
• Should I remove the bat! support fromthe avast installation?

Thanks, Peter

Well, after trying various things, getting more and more complex, the sollution was easy. I removed the avast pluging from The Bat! and transparency worked…

That makes sense since both Avast! and Spampal proxies are transparent.

And I thought I had to wait till Spanpal2 for the transparent function. Thanx for the good news.
