SMTP servers are for email transfer. They have traditionally been used for

email pickup on port 25 outbound; but recently, with ISPs implementing

outbound port 25 blocking, email pickup has been moving to port 587 (per

RFC 2476), or, less often, port 465 (SMTPS). For your purpose, if you are

using your ISP SMTP servers, port 25 is most likely still the default.



POP3 servers are mailbox servers; the final destination for email delivery.

They hold the delivered email until you connect with an email client to

receive the email.



Your ISP should have a web page explaining which servers you use for

sending (SMTP), and receiving (POP3). I see your IP address belongs to

UUNet; presumably, your ISP is using UUNet for transport. If your email

address is anything to go by, you might need your University IT department

to provide you with the server names.



I don't scan email, either inbound, or outbound, through the email clients.

I let my mail server handle virus scans. While the AV provider's programs

work well enough, often enough, to be a selling point, when they don't

work, things become seriously broken. Even if you don't use your AV email

scanning, your AV memory resident on access scanner will still protect you.



I don't know how well the McAfee Spamkiller works. It could be subject to

similar concerns. Again, spam filtering happens on my mail server; although

a decent email client will also offer good filtering. Also, there are

better proxy spam filters than McAfee offers; two of the best are free:

You don't need to scan mail at all. It causes more problems than it's

worth, and especially if using McAfee. You risk losing all your mail. If

the AV is up to date and working correctly it will kick in when and if

you open a suspect mail/attachment.

The best thing to do with McAfee is to uninstall it. Never use email

scanning especially with Mcafee.

You can also post your issue at the McAfee Support Forums:

http://forums.mcafeehelp.com/



If you have SpamKiller installed it will change the pop3 server setting

in your email program to 'localhost' or '127.0.0.1' and the user name to

your full email address.



You can read more about the settings and how SpamKiller works with your

email program in the User Guide, which you can download from this topic:
