antivirus: AVG v7

These instructions should enable you to combine SpamPal with the email virus-scanning features of Grisoft's Free AVG software

Let's begin...

AVG Setup

Sorry, only screengrabs of a working setup so far... more detail available later...

(I've been informed that the above screenshot may be incorrect - the username should read "deity@hades.uk.net/127.0.0.1:5100" (ie the @ and / are the wrong way around))

SpamPal use with AVG 7.0
Note left by Alexis Martin at 2005-01-29 20:57:30

AVG 7.0 (commercial version) makes it simpler for you, you do not need to change your settings when installing and configuring SpamPal.
In fact a third choice has been added for configuring AVG : not only you get User/Computer and Fixed Host, but also a third radio button called "Automatic". By checking this radio button, emails get processed through AVG and through SpamPal without problesm (I use Outlook 2000 as client software).
Hope it will help some other users.

Alexis.

SpamPal with AVGv7
Note left by Nixon at 2005-02-21 19:17:41

configure mail client:
server: localhost:spampal where spampal is the port on which spampal is listening (i.e. 910)
user: <unchanged>
password: <unchanged>

configure spampal:
POP3(specific servername)
Local Port Number (i.e. 910)
Server Name: <natural mail host>

configure AVGv7:
POP3: Host:Automatic
Local port: 10110

AVGv7 must monitor and intercept outbound:110 traffic

AVG 7.0 (free version)

Following on from Alexis Martin's comments, the "Automatic" button works on the free version as well as the commercial version. Well, it seems to be working OK for me anyway...

AVG 7 Free version 2005
Note left by flipflipnick at 2005-05-18 18:16:54

Above advice is good, to reinforce, to install SPAMPAL easily for multiple users in XP environment, with AVG 7 free.

Have email working with AVG 7 free version, before installing SPAMPAL. Install SPAMPAL last of all, after everything else is working okay.

NB Specify mail servers URLS in your firewall as TRUSTED sites, to speed up mail collection and sending.

Install SPAMPAL last of all, for each XP user. SPAMPAL will note AVG presence, and appears to 'slot in' between AVG and email program.

If SPAMPAL not working, re-install SPAMPAL, logged on as the user with error.

Worked for me. Hope that helps.
