Using ReSieve with other proxies

If you use an email scanning proxy that has changed your email setting, then ReSieve won't work straight out of the box, the email proxy will grab them instead. You need to configure ReSieve to talk to the email scanner. (If your virus scanner didn't change your email POP3 server setting then there is no need to follow these instructions).

(So, basically, emails get downloaded by the scanner, passed to ReSieve, and then - finally - passed to your email program.)

Now, since different brands of email scanners work differently, we'll work like this:

1. Disable the email scanner and return your settings to normal.
2. Tell ReSieve to listen for connections on a different port.
3. Tell your email program to connect to ReSieve on a different port.
4. Re-enable your email scanner with the new settings.

Proxy Chaining

ReSieve is an email proxy. In the simplest possible installation, ReSieve is a middleman that passes along communications between your email client and your email server.

 A mail client sends a request through ReSieve, and ReSieve to the mail server to fetch your email. The mail server responds by sending the email to ReSieve which filters the email with categories or tags and delivers them immediately to the mail client.

If you are using any additional email proxies with ReSieve such as certain antivirus software, YahooPOPs, or Hotmail, you need to configure them to work together in a daisy chained fashion like so:

To Disable your e-mail scanner
