By default, the list includes the following locations of mail servers:

•All IP addresses accessed via port 143 (standard IMAP4 mail servers)
•All IP addresses accessed via port 119 (standard NNTP mail servers)
•All IP addresses accessed via port 110 (standard POP3 mail servers)
•All IP addresses accessed via port 25 (standard SMTP mail servers)

With the default settings, SpIDer Mail intercepts connections to any supported mail server regardless of the server IP address. The latter is specified with the '*' character.

 

Note

In this mode, connections to mail server residing on your computer (i.e. using the localhost address) are not intercepted. Configure SpIDer Mail manually to monitor such servers.

 

If necessary, you can modify the list of server addresses. For example, if you use custom connection settings, you can modify or add another server port, or you can enter definite IP addresses to limit the number of servers to monitor.

To configure automatic mail interception

1.In the SpIDer Mail settings window, click Interception.
2.Select the automatic interception mode and click Connection Settings.
3.In the settings window, enter the following information:

Field

Description

Server address

Note

SpIDer Mail cannot operate in both automatic and manual modes simultaneously. If automatic interceptions is impossible for one or more of the mail clients whose traffic you want to monitor, switch into manual mode and configure interceptions for all mail clients including those that are supported in automatic mode. This will also require additional setting up of mail programs.
