Hi
Basically the problem is as follow. The smtp servers I use (all of them!) do not accept to send e-mails when I tick that box "server requires authentification". Therefore I have to uncheck it.
Now when Avast application gets updated, it changes that setting beck to checked.
Therefore I have to manually uncheck it to enable the sending of e-mails.
To me, Avast should not change that user setting on upgrade, but I could be wrong
.
However, as I said, it is not a big problem, since that happens only once in a while (when there is a major upgrade, not just virus database update).
