I need a working setting for virus submitting thru antivir.

Supposly , they now fixed submitting problem on antivir somehow I stil cant get it work.

i have tried :

SMTP.yahoo.com
www.yahoo.com
mail.yahoo.com

all failed and I also tried other web-based email companys with all those 3 forms, all failed "send mail test".

do I have to put ID/PW on antivir client or something other things i am doing wrong ?

 

PM smustaca and let him know.

 

I am also interested to know!
Pls let us know if u find the solution.

Thanks

 

from their replies it seems that should use :

mail.xxx.com
yourmail.xxx.com

also put your email address and PW in authentication boxes


I also posted in this thread:

I've got some answers and waiting for reply to my latest question.

 

Just curious, is yahoo your ISP? For me, when I want to send something using a email client I have to use my ISP's SMTP (cox cable) and not yahoo's, gmail's, or whatever.

 

my ISP is verzion. I have never used any of verzion mails

 

Use the following link.

http://analysis.avira.com/samples/index.php

You'll get feedback about whether the Avira lab have identified it as a FP or a real virus.

If you use the SMTP link, you only get an automated response and you don't get any feedback.

 

I think I got a FP, and I can't figure out how to send it to the company to check. I tried both ways

 

have u tried smtp.mail.yahoo.com? and see if theres an ssl setting, i think it needs to be checked.

 

FP should go directly to Stefan Kurtzhals.
E-mail Address(es):
heuristik2@avira.com

For viruses use the link given by jaydub. You can follow the progress of the analysis at the website and get the final report there as well as in email.

In case your FP is really a virus, make sure you zip and password protect so your ISP doesn't strip it out. Don't use Yahoo or GMail as they both drop the attachments if they are password protected. You need to use your ISP's mail.

If you believe it to be an FP then send to Stefan otherwise use the web page. If it is a FP for the new Rootkit detector send that to Stefan also. Don't use the web page or quarantine as those analysts won't get the point. I sent some Rootkit detector FP's using the web page and got a nice email back telling me the file was not dangerous. I already knew that. I knew it was a FP. So, then I sent them to Stefan and he sent them on the guy there who handles the Rootkit detector.

 

I'd rather just forget about it if I need to go through all that to submit FP.
People want to submit through antivir's feature for a reason.

 

Well, since verizon is your provider, here are their smtp addresses (used google to find them):

outgoing.verizon.net
or
smtpout.verizon.net

Try those

What would the smpt addresses be if my provider is shaw and i have a router?

 

I google searched "shaw smtp server"

The first result (I used cached since the website seemed to be down), said:

Victoria - shawmail.gv.shawcable.net
Nanaimo - shawmail.no.shawcable.net
Vancouver - shawmail.vc.shawcable.net
Interior BC - shawmail.ok.shawcable.net
Fort McMurray - shawmail.ed.shawcable.net
Edmonton/Red Deer - shawmail.ed.shawcable.net
Calgary - shawmail.cg.shawcable.net
Saskatoon - shawmail.ss.shawcable.net
Winnipeg/Ontario - shawmail.wp.shawcable.net

Cheers,

thanks

 

Avira asks that all submissions be through the web page. Ignore the quarantine submission. They have a new web page for submissions. If you use the quarantine you don't get a reply. It is not much trouble to use the web page. I agree it is more trouble if sending an FP to Stefan and you have to zip it but he asked here that we do it that if we are sure it is an FP. It is a bit of a hassle though so just use the web page. By now I imagine those analysts are aware of the FP's coming in from the Rootkit detector too.
