I am not 100% sure that it is scanning all of my email, either.
To see if avast! is scanning emails, check one of these points:
1) Is the avast icon (the special one of email scanning) be shown in the system tray?
2) Is your email header with the lines
X-Antivirus: avast! (VPS XXXXXX-X, XX/XX/2007), Inbound message and
X-Antivirus-Status: Clean? (Right click the message, choose Properties and Details)
3) Are clean notes added at the bottom of the email? (Internet Mail provider settings)
You can test the security of your email system here: http://www.gfi.com/emailsecuritytest/To see the Standard Shield and other protection:
1) Is the 'a' blue icon swirling?
2) Right click the icon once and see what are the 'last scanned files'...
3) Use eicar virus test.
Do I need to change the Redirected Ports??
Do you use any spam tool?
Are AV program developers going to be able to accomdate for this trend?
SSL connections are safe and encrypted... if it could be scanned, it would be read and then won't be safe and encrypted.
So I wonder if I should mess with the Stunnel program or just install Outlook?
Stunnel works like a charm. I have SSL, Outlook Express, Redirection into avast settings and my email is being scanned.
