Can't Send Email

[BCD]

Unable to send emails when Avast activated.  IE.7, Windows 64 and Bell Sympatico high speed internet connection.  Any ideas beyond closing Avast

Could you tell us your emal client & type, e.g. Cached-Exchange or SMTP?

[Lisandro]

Which firewall do you use?
Does your email uses SSL connection (which port is set to be used by SMTP)?

[BCD]

Using Bell Sympatico/Windows Outlook.  SMTP and Port 110

[DavidR]

But doesn't Bell Sympatico use SSL (secure email), which is over and above the info you have given ?

SMTP normally uses port 25, and POP3 uses port 110, this is for the non-SSL email standards. If using SSL on these ports avast will have a problem as it can't scan secure email.

Thanks for stepping in Alan I though Sympatico rang a bell.
