McAfee Spamkiller VS. Outlook Express POP3
 

For some unknown reason, Spamkiller changes the POP3 incoming email port to
200 instead of the 110 that I set it at. This prevents Outlook Express from
downloading the email from Spamkiller. Even their technical support hasn't
been able to correct this issue. So, my question is this. Instead of going
into Spamkiller and changing the port back to 110 ever week or so, can I set
the POP3 incoming email port to 200 in Outlook Express and leave it that
way? This will avoid the conflict that OE has when the Spamkiller port is
reset to 200.

Thanks in advance for all suggestions.

Paul

No. Spamkiller acts as a local proxy (port 200) for the POP (110) port -- OE
won't be able to POP mail from port 200 directly.

OE gets its mail from Spamkiller which acts as a server. Spamkiller
downloads the mail from the ISP and stores it in a folder on the harddrive.
So if Spamkiller is getting the email while using 200, will OE connect to
Spamkiller at port 200? Maybe I'll just try it the next time Spamkiller
changes the port number.

That's a good idea.

Spamkiller changed the Email POP3 incoming mail port to 200 again. It seems
like every Saturday it changes it back to 200 from 110. I went into Outlook
Express and changed the port from 110 to 200. All the mail downloads from
Spamkiller now with no problem. I had to change it on all the accounts. So
I'll leave it like this and hopefully, everything will work fine.

I was an early fan of Spamkiller but eventually dumped it for SpamPal...
cheaper and IME better.
