Avast 6 Pro blocks outgoing mail

Avast Free Antivirus / Premium Security

Hi,

Several of my clients (and I) have the same issue: Avast 6 Pro blocks outgoing e-mails without any warning. The e-mails will just reside in the outbox until you disable Avast.

We’re all running Win7 64-bit and use Outlook 2007 or Outlook 2010.

One solution I found online was to disable SSL, but that didn’t help. There’s no warning message from Avast at all.

The outgoing email server use port 587.

I hope this can be resolved ASAP.

Thanks.

Cato

Thank you for your response.

I just don’t understand why this happened in the first place. It worked for years, and also with version 6 for a long while, but a few weeks ago it suddenly stopped.

Well, it’s Outlook. :wink:
