Hello:
I want to use an anti-spam filter (POPFile) and desperately need some knowledge.
The route is this: email client – POPFile (spam app) – NIS – Server
I use SSL, and thus POP3 port 995. So, should the port between POPFile and NIS be 995?
A somewhat "side" issue: port 995 is not protected default in NIS. Should I add it?
I am not terribly knowledgable about this, so please take that into account. Very grateful for a response, though.
Regards,
Hans L
I have Internet Security 2012 and 2003 Microsoft Outlook. A few days ago, I started seeing spam in the Antispam folder repeated 10, 20 even 30 times, all with the same date and time. Instead of 4 or 5 in the folder, now I have 50+.
How do I stop a spam that keeps changing the e-mail name and domain that it's coming from? I've also tried blocking the subject but it changes slightly each time as well. Is there a way to block these e-mails? I have norton 360 V6 and am using outlook 2007 to receive my e-mail.
Hello
I believe that Norton only scans emails that use the default settings for emails. I believe my ISP uses port 995 and it doesn't scan the emails.
F4E, thanks for bumping thisthreat.
floplot, that is, indeed, incredible if true. You would think that NIS would scan emails at least for the SSL ports (995, 465). However, I noticed that a day or two ago that you can add ports that NIS scans, and I will do that.
Thanks for the information./Hans L
As the SSL ports 995, 465 are encrypted, so Norton would not be able to read the emails anyway. That is why they are not monitored.
Aha, Peterweb. I do not know much about encryption, but I assue that the headers are encrypted as well, then. Because if not, Norton would have to scan the headers.

I am definitely not an encryption expert, so I will have to leave that question to those with that expertise.

I asked your post be moved to the Mac board for better exposure to Mac users.

Sorry, I should have addressed my reply to Skuhna
Thanks but I must’ve missstated the problem. I get a report nightly and messages that are presumed by Norton to be spam. If they are not, how can I retrieve them? Norton says look at my spam filter, which is on Mac mail, and they are not there. Is there a Norton spam folder that holds his messages and allows me to retrieve them?
You cannot stop spam from being sent to you. You can only try managing the spam that is sent.
Are you using web mail or an email client such as Outlook or Thunderbird? For web mail, you are dependent on the email provider's spam filters. You can try contacting them about the spam. This can help whether you use web mail or an email client.
If you have an email client on your computer, and if you are using POP email, you can try the spam settings in your Norton product. Again, it will not stop the email from coming, but will help you manage it.
How do I retrieve messages incorrectly designated Spam and appearing in the daily Spam report? I cannot find a folder on my Mac that holds these messages. I'm running Mac Catalina.
Thanks.
