How to configure emailing of reports in case of an SSL connection?

To configure emailing of eScan reports in case of SSL connection.

 

By Default, eScan does not support report emailing when the Mailserver supports only SSL connection. 

If you want to email the reports in eScan while using SSL connection, we can configure the same by making following changes. Do note that a 3rd party utility is required to install at the client system. You can download the same using link given below

  1. Download stunnel and install it.
  2. Open up the stunnel.conf file (either through the Start Menu —> Stunnel —> Edit stunnel.conf, or navigate to the file in the installation folder.
  3. In the notepad that opens, in the '; Example SSL client mode services', enter the lines as below, for the relevant mail server without the semicolons as indicated below in case of gmail mail server:
