Internet Mail only Monitors one smtp server?

[BlitzenZeus]

I've confirmed this on my install, I have tried uninstalling it, and reisntalling it.  It only monitors one of my smtp servers, and the other doesn't even get looked at by the mail scanner.

I noticed in the headers Avast adds some information, so I used this for testing.

On the account with the smtp server that is being monitored I get these headers:
X-Antivirus: avast! (VPS 0450-0, 12/06/2004), Outbound message
X-Antivirus-Status: Clean
X-Antivirus: avast! (VPS 0450-0, 12/06/2004), Inbound message
X-Antivirus-Status: Clean

On the account with the other smtp I only get the "Inbound message" headers:
X-Antivirus: avast! (VPS 0450-0, 12/06/2004), Inbound message
X-Antivirus-Status: Clean

Is this a limitation of your software, or something left behind that your uninstall didn't get?  I am running 4.5 with all the current updates.

Isn't it a SSL-enabled account?

Nope, its not a secured account, but I screwed up here.  I thought I had fully checked the settings of the account, but apparently I missed that I was using a non-standard port as my last provider was blocking tcp 25 to any address besides its own mail servers, so your program was not capturing the traffic to the non-standard port.

Sorry about that

However it would be nice if you could somehow pick the ports your program is going to listen on, like I don't use imap so I just disable the inbound scanning which prevents that, and would like to add at least one port for the filtering if possible.  There is even openssl which has been used by many to filter secure connections if you wanted to go that far.

Thanks for the great program, take care.

Hello BlitzenZeus,

However it would be nice if you could somehow pick the ports your program is going to listen on, like I don't use imap so I just disable the inbound scanning which prevents that, and would like to add at least one port for the filtering if possible.

The ports avast Mail Scanner listens on can be configured in ini file (Avast4\DATA\avast4.ini). Find the section
[MailScanner] and edit these values (example values):


SmtpListen=127.0.0.1:12025
PopListen=127.0.0.1:12110
ImapListen=127.0.0.1:12143


Anyway, what I think you've meant was configuring the ports avast! automaticaly monitors (and scans). You may modify it by editing these options:


PopRedirectPort=110
SmtpRedirectPort=25,11026
ImapRedirectPort=143


Multiple values can be separeted by comma, add them to the ini file, if not already present.

Cheers

So your program was not capturing the traffic to the non-standard port.

If you've read the avast4.ini file thread you won't say that  
Click on Settings in my signature and feel free to tweak your avast instalation...

Thanks guys, I don't have to use the non-standard port at this time, but I will save this information for later.

I did look in the file before posting, but those entires don't exist by default, at least on my install.

I've posted that these settings are not there by default
