Hi to everyone, this is my first topic here Thank you for your work 8)
Here’s the problem: I’m trying to set the exact port for email check but avast go out of time during the protection.
This is how my account is configurated in OE:
Is this setting necessary? Where I put a wrong setting?
Please help me, I want to use all the feature of avast! because I don’t trust in OE.
Thank you very much for your help.
Regards
In short, the avast mail scanner doesn’t support SSL (Secure Socket Layer) connections…
But take a look here: http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=10428.0 to see how to set up secure email with avast!.
Since SSL/TLS e-mail is encrypted and decrypted in the client, external virus scanners (including avast!) can’t read or scan it.
The solution is to pass e-mail in and out un-encrypted from your client (Outlook Express, Thunderbird, …) to a proxy program (Stunnel) that does the actual ssl or tls encryption/decryption of the pop3/smtp e-mail and communicates directly with the ISP server on the appropriate ports. Another drivers (OpenSSL) are need as a library of encryption/decryption routines.
Thank you very much for your help, I was trying to read the 3D but it’s too hard for me, specially because is english
Do you think that future releases of Avast! will support SSL?
I can wait
Thank you again
I think not. External virus scanners can’t read or scan SSL connections…
The procedures are not that difficult. I have to do them as I use GMail… It’s working.
