I have been using avast for over a year and about six months ago updated to the pro version. I use Blue Iris DVR Software on the same computer. I have Blue Iris setup to send email alerts via my gmail account whenever there is an event on my cameras. Up until about a month ago this worked flawlessly. I started to notice I wasn’t receiving emails. I did some searching and found I needed to adjust avast to allow for this traffic under Settings, Troubleshooting, and redirect settings. If I click ignore local communication and put port 465 in the ignored address box I start receiving emails again. However, it has stopped working at least five more times since then. I have to go back into the redirect settings, change them, hit OK, then eventually change them back to the original settings, and things will start working again. Could avast updates be causing this? Is there any way to fix it?
Thanks
