ayumi,
what is your account configuration in you mail client and spam filter? (username, servers, tcp ports)
Lukas.
I only have my email account. ASSP is used to filter the spam, block Blacklisted DNS and do some basic antivirus functions (on port 25) and it sends it to my email program (server) on another computer (an old P3 700mhz).
I check my email with Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0 on port 995 (encrypted SSL) and send them to ASSP. I use Thunderbird on the same PC that ASSP and Avast are on (P4 1.6 512mb Ram, Windows XP Pro SP2).
When I send them, I have no timeout message, but all the bad message get timeout. I think it's when it look the blacklist DNS, the whitelisted users or does the simple virus check. Maybe the process take too much time? It takes a second or two.
It used to work great for over a year.
