    I've been trying out NOD32 for a week or so and have noticed the following issue:

    I use Thunderbird which checks 3 POP3 accounts from my ISP.

    In around 30% of my incoming emails, there is *no* NOD32 certification visible ("this mail has been checked by ESET........").

    However, all emails that I send from one of my accounts to the other contain the certification.

    I suspect that NOD32 is indeed checking all of my emails but something in the emails is preventing the display of the ESET certification.

    Does anybody know what is causing this?

    TIA!

    Jabber,

    Based upon personal expereince, I have found that enabling secure connections(SSL/TLS) in both incoming and outgoing servers in one's email client settings(Eudora, PocoMail, etc...) prevents all anti-virus applications(NOD32 included) from scanning email. The end result is that eset NOD32 appended tag messages are no where to be found and scans are not performed. The reason being is that all anti-virus applications at this time can not scan through a secure connection. Unless your ISP or email service provider specifically requires it(most do not), the secure connections(SSL/TLS) options in both incoming and outgoing servers of one's email client should be disabled.

    hypnotist,

    Provided that the secure connections(SSL/TLS) option in one's email client is disabled for both incoming and outgoing servers, "most" email should be appended with the eset NOD32 tag. It is normal for "some" email to get scanned by NOD32 and get through without the tags. Don't ask me why, as I have no idea. I guess the most important thing is that the secure connection options are disabled which ensures that the email will be scanned.


    Peace & Love,

    Secure connections are *not* set in my Thunderbird options for incoming or outgoing mail. The question remains: Why is the Eset certification missing in *some* incoming emails? And how can I be sure that NOD32 is indeed scanning those?

    FYI: AVG Anti-Virus appended certification to *all* incoming emails in Thunderbird with my current settings.

    drjster,

    You can verify that NOD32 is scanning your incoming email through the link posted below. Hopefully, a NOD32 moderator can address why some emails are not appended with the eset NOD32 tags.
