Rebex Secure Mail POP3 Connect from Windows Service is extremly slow

Question

Hi,

We use the following c# code:

Pop3 pop = new Pop3();
pop.Settings.SslAcceptAllCertificates = true;
pop.Connect(serverName, 110, SslMode.None);
pop.Login(userName, password);

The Connect method takes half second if it is called from Windows Forms Application, but it takes 30 seconds if it was called from Windows Service. Tried several times.

Why is it? How can I or you fix this?

OS: Windows 7 Professional 64 bit

Rebex Components 2013 R2 v2.0.4981.0 (.NET 2.0)

Window Service uses .NET 3.5

When using other pop3 server with Implicit SSLmode and different port, it works well and fast.

Thanks

Answer 1

Finally I found the solution. The anti-virus software caused the 30 seconds delay, likely it analyzes the port 110 traffic.

Answer 2

Hello,

could you please run the same code which causes problems from: A) Windows Service application B) Windows Forms application

In both variants, please create a log as described at http://www.rebex.net/kb/logging/default.aspx

And send both logs back to support@rebex.net, or post it here. We’ll be able to look into your issue then.

The problem occurred only on one computer and it is reproducable without using Rebex components, with using .NET tcp classes alone.
