Hi
I get these error messages on start up.
Windows Messaging
“Either there is no default mail client or the current client cannot fulfil the messaging request”
avast!: Mail Scanner warning
“avast will not be able to protect outgoing mail (SMTP protocol)
Error 10048
Port 25 is already in use, specify another port value”
I’m using XP Pro, Microsoft Outlook 2000 for mail, Outlook express newsreader only.
Thankyou Plugster
Sounds like a wrong setting somewhere. Check ALL settings in Outlook and Outlook express, use only one at a time and check the mail settings in Avast.
Also check your event and system log files and solve all errors there using google and the MS knowledgebase (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh;EN-US;KBHOWTO)
see if that brings you anything
Checked all settings everthing looks OK. Don’t really know anything about system logs, events.
Thanks Plugster
Can you use TCPView (http://www.sysinternals.com/files/tcpview.zip) to see which application is using the port 25? Maybe you have a conflict between the IM sender and the email client…
Plugstr,
The error only means that Avast is not monitoring your outgoing email. This appears to be caused by the fact that Avast normally uses Port 25 for the SMTP and Port 110 for POP3. You can use Port 26 and 111 if you want but you will have to make changes in your email client and in the Avast .ini file.
Run TCP View first to see what program is using Port 25, then we can make better recommendation.

I had the same problem that was caused after I started Internet Information Services on Windows XP Professional. I was able to go into Administrative Tools, Internet Information Services, local computer and stop Default SMTP Virtual Server.
