POP3 email problem

[Jens]

I have a problem with POP3 mail. Use WGIC and want accounting and AV scanning (Kaspersky) of traffic. How shall I configure proxies to get this to work? I am not using the email server but want to access pop3 mailboxes e.g. Yahoo. From the documentation I get the impression I have to enable the POP3 and SMTP servers and transparent redirection in them. However, after installing Kaspersky AV, it is only listed in the SMTP server, not in POP3. If I start POP3 and SMTP server, then access to external POP3 mailboxes fail to connect (receive) but SMTP goes through (transmit). Kaspersky works on transmit. If I stop the POP3 server, then I can access external POP3 mailboxes but viruses go through without being intercepted.
How should this be configured? I have not installed ENS (hoped to get a simpler environment).

Hi Jens,

You can proxy, how I do it is in this post here --> http://forums.qbik.com/viewtopic.php?t=2950

To enable KAV in any service --> Sessions --> Add should do the trick.

Report back how it goes!

Hi Nev,
Thanks for your suggestions, I have managed to get this to work. I used the SMTP server with transparent intercept on port 25 and created a POP3 proxy server intercepting port 110 leaving the POP3 server disabled. The POP3 server was disabled. That did the trick.
However, I have some other issues with FTP when the application resides on the PC running theWinGate server (no problems from the PCs on the LAN using WGIC to access Internet, both accounting and Kaspersky works fine).
I have enabled the FTP proxy server with transparent intercept on port 21. I have tried various applications on the WG server PC to ftp from an external ftp server with very different results.
Cuteftp, Filezilla and EFTP3 all works fine when set up to access Internet via the proxy server on Localhost port 21. However, FireFtp will not work at all if set to access through proxy server.
If I use Opera or Firefox browsers to download ftp, the protocol stops early with the browser displaying "220 WinGate engine ftp ready" but the username/password window is never displayed so it just stops there.
If I use IE to access an ftp site, it connects but even though it has been configured to access through the ftp proxy (Localhost on port 21) it actually ignores this and makes a direct connection. I can see this because the connection is not listed in the WG activity window, it is not picked up by the accounting function and Kaspersky AV is not scanning the traffic allowing the EICAR.COM test file through unchanged (checked with Norton AV after download). Using IE for web browsing works fine, the proxy addressing functions exactly as expected. Since I have all working perfect from PCs on the LAN (using WGIC) I thought I should be able to get the same applications on the WG PC to work when accessing through the respective proxy servers.
Any ideas?

I should add that IE goes through the proxies as it should when using http and https. The same with pop3/smtp. It is only with ftp that IE ignores the proxy setting.
