Thank you technical for reply…
Pimmy authors have very kindly worked with me to try and resolve the problem but we havent been able to work out the problem.Basically i cant send attachments with pimmy my dsl gateway (broadband) and avast installed.It works ok with all 3 when i revert to dial up (with the same isp).A packet sniffer shows its sending the attachment then i get this error…
RCPT TO:<@*.uk>
250 Accepted
DATA
354 Enter message, ending with “.” on a line by itself
and the sending hangs.Outlook express works sending attachments with avast installed as long as i dont use the mail scanner.With AVG installed (using the universal email plugin) everything works correctly.AVG does use different port numbers other than 110 and 25 though to scan mail but does use the localhost settings for servers…Im starting to wonder whether the probem lies with the normal port settings of 110 and 25 and the router and avast.Is it possible to change the mail port settings for avast to a different port and still have avast scan them ?
