Hi, I'm new to avast! and to this forum.
As far as I read, I realized the 4.5 version should scan the mail traffic acting as a sniffer or something (we don't need to set avast! as a proxy with the 127.0.0.1 trick).
I use WinXP SP2 and Becky! as mail client (
www.rimarts.co.jp).
Well, the Mail Protection Wizard have not found any mail account on my system, so I configured it manually.
The thing is that I still have to use the 127.0.0.1 trick, continuing with the same problem I had with the 4.1 version: smtp authentication.
My ISP requires SMTP AUTH to be turned on. On Becky!, I can leave the SMTP user and pass blanks, so the client will use the same u/p configured to the pop3 account. The deal is that my pop3 username is: "abcd#pop3.isp.com", and avast! doesn't filters out the string after the hash when "64 basing" the user and password for smtp auth.
What am I doing wrong or have not understand about the 127.0.0.1 configuration ?
