Outlook Express 6.00.2900.2180 (xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158)
Windows XP Pro SP2
Avast 4.8 Home edition
I'm new to Avast (made the switch from Symantec), and I'm experiencing some problems with sending mail.
I can't seem to figure out what the problem is.
It's only with outbound mail. I've tried switching scanning of it off, but it doesn't help.
Funny thing is that it happens only with bigger mails. If the mail is only a few lines (a few kbs) it goes, but if it's bigger it doesn't.
There's no specific error message, but there's the yellow triangle with the exclamation mark indication that something's wrong. It says "Warnings" in the status column of the tasks and Local Area Network in the connection column.
The mail sticks in the Outbox, causing it to be resent and resent and resent and it IS sent and delivered.
I'm running Windows firewall, Symantec was completely removed with the Symantec Removal Tool, so I don't think that's causing any problems.
When I switch off the Outlook/Exchange in Avast, the problem seems to be solved.
ashMaiSv.exe is running in the processes, Windows Firewall is not blocking Avast.
I tried the search on the forum, and found similar items, but I couldn't find a working answer to this issue.
Does anyone have any idea? Any help would be appreciated.
