:PNow I have another dilema. I tried to setup my wife's system with the same configuration as she too has Att Yahoo mail. She uses Incredimail however. Everything works as far as sending and receiving but avast is not scanning the outgoing mail. The blue avast ball spins but the mail scanning tray icon does not appear. avast is set to insert a clean note and you guessed it it does not appear in the sent email. The mail scanning tray icon appears for incoming mail and the note appears on those incoming emails. Do you think this is an avast quirk or do i possibly have to alter the stunnel config file somehow? Thanks in advance!!
