Virus scanner blocking/messing up traffic? - Page 3

No, I was talking about YUM.

What about the Dual Virus Scanner? Does anyone know if this happens with that scanner? I have this customer set up with Avast (managed) and it's about to expire. I want to know if I should renew the Avast license or sell them the Dual Virus Scanner. I'd rather use the Dual Virus Scanner since it's easier to manage then a busted XP machine (Once again, these people never take my advise! There is no domain and they are all XP Home boxes!) running the Avast server software. If there will be an issue, I'd like to know about it. Any ETA on a fix yet?

On my thunderbird using windows xp and on my evolution using fedora I'm getting trouble trying to download email. It looks close to two months since anyone has discussed this issue. Am I working with an old version of untangle, or is this problem not fixed yet? version doesn't seem to indicate it has updated 5.0.3.1-1, is this a good version?

I was told, by my Untangle sales rep, that it will be fixed in the next release which is to be in February. He got his info from the developers.

Is there any way to use the spam filter if you have users receiving retr errors in the current version?

As far as I know, there is no workaround from Untangle yet. If you are trying to workaround the Thunderbird issue, you could set it up with an IMAP account instead of a standard POP3 (or maybe POP3 will work too) and have it run through a secure connection (SSL). Obviously, you'd have to have a mail server that supports IMAP and an SSL connection but if you can get that set up, the data should pass through the spam filter without getting touched. I've not tested this but it sounds good in theory.

Beyond all that stuff, I've never looked forward to February so much in my life!

Thanks for the suggestion. I will try this for POP3 and IMAP off hours tonight or tomorrow and post the results.

Yesterday, I was on one of my sites that has this issue. I had to move a bunch of profiles and that meant moving their mail to the new PC as well. I figured I'd try getting this working and was able to do so. Many are Outlook Express users but some use T-Bird. In all 15 cases, I was able to have them use SSL with their POP3 accounts.

As I mentioned above, I was able to get T-Bird to work with SSL. However, T-Bird will nag you about the security cert if it's out of date or whatever but there's a check box to stop that nag. My issue was with the "Domain Name Mismatch" notice I'd get since the cert was for my company and not the domain on which the client was checking his mail and there is no check box for this notice. I did some digging and found an extension for FF and TB that gives you the check box that keeps this notice from bothering you every time you open TB. Here it is...

I'm still waiting on the new update which is to fix the initial error as the Spam/Phish/Virus blockers cannot filter things out if it's running on an encrypted connection.
