Strange - seems that I one of the lucky guys who never had a problem - 4.1 worked fine, the 4.5 beta versions worked fine. Now I’m on 4.5.523 and all is fine.

May be it’s my setup:
Processor : Intel
OS : Windows 2000 Prof - fully patched
Mail Client : Outlook Express - latest Version 6.00.2800.1123
Firewall : ZA (Free Version) 5.1.0033.00
Avast : 4.5.523 (Home Version)

I do start ZA 4 seconds before Avast with Startup Delayer.

And I use authentification for outgoing mails (SMTP on standard port 25) and IMAP (on standard port 143) for incoming mails.

OE is configured as if Avast would not be there.Was also replaced automatically from old settings by upgrading from 4.1 to 4.5 beta.

To Lito : a mailserver can be configured to allow relay for a certain IP range without authentification, in case of ISP’s of course for there own IP range.

No idea now what could cause this - but I’m very optimistic that Avril will solve these issues.
