Hi ppl
Been using AVG 7.0 email server edition, but every few minutes the scanner starts up saying:
Auto POP3: connecting to d221-86-250 commercial cgo cable.net
Anybody any idea what's going on with it? Is it scanning incoming email or is it something more sinister....as in scanning outbound messages?
Cheers
Steve.

hold on....is this just a regular old home computer that you're using? if it is, you've deffinately got the wrong version of avg!! lol. this version is make for e-mail servers (like comapnies like google and yahoo use when they give you an e-mail). this isn't for the every day home user!  lol.

yes.......  it's all good, I've made some errors myself, ok a few
go back to the site and read up on it
I don't know what the message means, but its surely for a server

the e-mail server edition is made to handle huge volumes of e-mails in and out.....like for someone who hosts e-mail accounts. you just want the personal edition, or may i even recommend the free edition  lol. I'd actually highly recommend the free edition...scans with schedule, updates itself on schedule, scans e-mail.......why not? lol. | |

Had the same problem, but with a different address. The address that keeps comming out is a random pc somewhere, not any kind of email that I have or update server. It was creeping me out, so I turned it off.

Does this tend to happen when you are using a filesharing program, or some other application trying to use port 110 (pop3)? | |
