I’ve confirmed this on my install, I have tried uninstalling it, and reisntalling it. It only monitors one of my smtp servers, and the other doesn’t even get looked at by the mail scanner.
I noticed in the headers Avast adds some information, so I used this for testing.
On the account with the smtp server that is being monitored I get these headers: X-Antivirus: avast! (VPS 0450-0, 12/06/2004), Outbound message
X-Antivirus-Status: Clean
X-Antivirus: avast! (VPS 0450-0, 12/06/2004), Inbound message
X-Antivirus-Status: Clean
On the account with the other smtp I only get the “Inbound message” headers: X-Antivirus: avast! (VPS 0450-0, 12/06/2004), Inbound message
X-Antivirus-Status: Clean
Is this a limitation of your software, or something left behind that your uninstall didn’t get? I am running 4.5 with all the current updates.
Nope, its not a secured account, but I screwed up here. I thought I had fully checked the settings of the account, but apparently I missed that I was using a non-standard port as my last provider was blocking tcp 25 to any address besides its own mail servers, so your program was not capturing the traffic to the non-standard port.
Sorry about that 8)
However it would be nice if you could somehow pick the ports your program is going to listen on, like I don’t use imap so I just disable the inbound scanning which prevents that, and would like to add at least one port for the filtering if possible. There is even openssl which has been used by many to filter secure connections if you wanted to go that far.

The ports avast Mail Scanner listens on can be configured in ini file (Avast4\DATA\avast4.ini). Find the section [MailScanner] and edit these values (example values):
