Proxy ports are the ports used by iolo AntiVirus to intercept email messages. A proxy port is used so that messages can be intercepted before they reach the mail server.
To change a port, click Change. The Specify Port window opens. Enter a different port number and click OK.
iolo AntiVirus listens for messages on the mapped ports; see below.
Mapped ports are the ports used to receive and send mail. As a default, email protection listens for incoming email messages on port 110 and for outgoing email messages on port 25.
If your email client is configured to use ports that differ from these standards, add or make changes in the Mapped Ports fields.
To add a port to the list, click Add. The Specify Port window opens. Enter a port number and click OK.
To remove a port from the list, select it and click Remove.
iolo AntiVirus scans email messages received in and sent from the programs listed in the Supported Mail Clients list (shown by .exe name). The most commonly used email programs – including Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora, and Mozilla Thunderbird – are already on the list as a default.
If the executable for your email client is not listed, click Add to open the Add new mail client window. This is a standard browse window. Navigate to the desired email program and with the appropriate executable selected, click OK.
The executable name will display in the list and email protection will apply, as long as the client is POP3-compatible.
If you want to remove a program from the list, select it and click Remove.
iolo AntiVirus will scan messages sent or received from a program on this list that is POP3-compatible.
Note: Clicking Restore Defaults reverts the values in all of the fields back to the default.
