When will Avast support SSL (TLS) connections?
« on: April 07, 2004, 08:42:00 PM »

Mail provider has changed system settings and now requires SSL (TLS) to access email.

Logon denied when account is protected via Avast .  No problem when unprotected.

Looks like I'm getting a different AV program.  Any chance this will be addressed in future releases?

I must admit I don't remember anything like that...
It is possible to configure stunnel (an SSL wrapper) such that it encrypts the connection between avats! e-mail scanner and the server, but I don't think any changes are currently planned for avast! directly (but I may be wrong, of course).

What? I didn't say anything like that...

But wait, is the original poster really right? I mean, from what he said I have the feeling that he thinks that avast! REQUIRES SSL (in contrary to NOT SUPPORTING SSL -- which is the case)...

So, TechMama, could you please rephrase your question a bit...?


Thanks
