When I try to send mail it tells me "an encryption email connection
has been
detected" I have never set one up how do I disable it. I have
Outlook
Express 6.
NOTE: You have Outlook Express. This newsgroup is for Outlook (which is
part of MS Office). Ask in a newsgroup for Outlook Express.
I've never seen the message you describe when using digital certificates
to sign my outbound messages. Sounds like you have some added software
on your Internet connection (also is poor English, so maybe you're
infected).
Be sure to report EXACTLY what is the error message. "encryption email
connection has been detected" found nothing in a Google search, but
changing "encryption" to "encrypted" found several articles. One of
them was
http://snipurl.com/bq0w. Anti-virus software can work one of a
couple ways to scan e-mails. It can insert itself into the TCP service
as an LSP (layered service provider) which, I believe, is how
EzAntivirus works, or it can run as a transparent proxy that monitors
traffic on specific ports. NAV isn't configurable as to which ports it
will monitor, so it monitors only 110 and 25 (I think Avast is
configurable). So if you send or receive e-mails on different ports
then NAV or similar anti-virus products won't be able to see your e-mail
traffic. SSL doesn't use ports 25 and 110. Typically your ISP will
have SSL-enabled listening ports of 995 (for POP3) and 465 or 537
(SMTP). So maybe you enabled SSL connects to your ISP's mail servers in
your e-mail client. Maybe you also didn't change the port numbers so
you are trying to use SSL over, say, port 25 for your outbound e-mails,
NAV is monitoring traffic on port 25, but it can't figure out SSL
encrypted traffic.
Check with your ISP or their web page as to what port numbers you should
use for the POP3 and SMTP servers if you want to connect to them using
SSL. I doubt that you are supposed to use the standard POP3 (110) and
SMTP (25) ports.
