My goal: Test the email notification feature "Virus Alerts" on my personal computer using my own email accounts.
Problem: Testing this feature (via test button) does not produce an email notification. I won't test with a sample file until the built-in test feature confirms that the notification system is operational.
product: Avast! Free Antivirus
version: 7.0.1474
Setting summary: I want Avast! to send an email notification FROM my personal Gmail account and have it sent TO my domain's email account.
(i.e. FROM: me@gmail.com TO: me@mydomain.com)
Outgoing server settings
server: smtp.gmail.com
port: 465 (or 587, both suggested by Google)
from address: my Gmail address
requires authentication: yes
username: my Gmail address
password: my Gmail password
I've already tried: ports 25, 456, and 587. Re-entering my Gmail username & password to ensure they're correct.
Please post any advice/suggestions that you may have.
Thanks in advance!
