Re: "Official" email migration thread

said by sded:

Visit thr avast! forum for fairly straightforward instructions on how to set up avast! to scan encrypted email. Uses the external program Stunnel, along with the free openSSL library. I have been scanning the usual ssl dslextreme and gmail this way with avast! for several years. Since you can't scan the email directly after it is encrypted by the server, you first decrypt it via Stunnel then scan it with avast! external to your client. Or for outgoing, scan it first and then encrypt it. Technique works with some other scanners also, built into a few. Works for both incoming and outgoing secure email.
I've been looking at that for quite a while.

I think I'm to dumb to do it but I am mulling it over.

I don't suppose you'd consider coming up to tutor me. I'll buy dinner.

Thanks.

OK; since encrypted email is now a general dslx issue, I guess we can discuss it here. Let's start with a simple task-getting avast! to scan incoming SSL pop3 mail for Thunderbird. First picture shows the TB setup-just unencrypted email coming in from localhost proxy port 11110 for a dslx user. Make sure it includes your complete email address. Picture 2 shows the avast! setup, adding the port 11110 to those captured by avast! Picture 3 is the key, and is a copy of the stunnel.conf file renamed to .txt for viewing. Stunnel will intercept dslx email coming in on port 995, decrypt it, and pass it on to avast! to be virus scanned, then avast! will pass it on to TB on port 11110 for the TB user. All of the Stunnel setup for both dslx and separate gmail accounts are shown; others are similar. You can download Stunnel and the OpenSSL library for Windows at »www.stunnel.org/download/binaries.html . If you don't use TB, we can adapt the client similarly.

Good info.

I hope that's not your REAL email address.

A test for the new spam filter. Actually just my username here with dslextreme as the ISP.
