Cant send e-mails

yep timeout...

Try to increase both timeouts (of avast into the Advanced tab of Internet Mail provider settings and of your email account, in Properties of the account, Advanced tab too). You can set both to 600, for instance. If you're on a DSL connection (not dial-up) it shouldn't be necessary a so long timeout anyway...

If this does not help, can you uncheck the Outbound mail scanning?

Do you use any spam killer? Sometimes the spam killer enters in a 'loop' and consume all the timeout. Shutdown it and start it again.

its working fine with scanning outbound mails diseabled. no spam killer in use...

Basicly there is no problem at all. Everything is working like it should. Avast is checking both inbound as well as outbound mail. The 'inbound' part takes care of your system. The 'outbound' part takes care that (if your system gets infected) the malware isn't spread to others but stopped.

But I thought avast was blocking clean outbound mail... 

[EvilGOD]

yep its blocking clean mails... no maleware, just bloody normal mails w/o virus etc. if i diseable the scanning function for outbound mails all is working great. i hope this gets fixed soon...

Your firewall is set to block avast mail? 

[EvilGOD]

no surely not! 

only way is disabeling outgoing mail scanning... i can live with that...
