version 38397, mail problem
« on: February 27, 2013, 08:21:08 PM »
Just updated to version 38397, but had to turn off mail protection as it completely blocked access to my mail server. Apparently there has been a change in the way it handles SSL. I have not modified my system to make it work I used to just put up with the warnings in the previous versions about ssl/tls connections. IMAP accounts on Mac Mail 4.6 (1085), OS X 10.6.8.

SSL handling has indeed changed in 38397 (and later), in fact it is the biggest change in the new version. Some technical info about it can be found here: http://public.avast.com/~tuma/techinfo/

To find out what's wrong with your mail connection, we need a little bit more info. At least the mailserver and the corresponding system log (/var/log/system.log) messages from com.avast.proxy.

Thanks for the logs. There is definitely some issue with the antivirus engine (daemon) on your system, but even a non working engine should not break the mailshield in a way that it wan't let mail traffic through.

Can you try to disable IPv6 support in the mailshield configuration and see, if that helps? Broken IPv6 in your network could be the reason of the problems (at least of the "direct connection" issues).

Thanks tumic,
turned off the ipv6 support and everything seems fine, i have also had to turn it off on the web shield as it made my internet connection remind me of the dial up days.
