Impossible to send attachments thru Thunderbird

[cadremis]

I have the last version of Thunderbird and Avast has always checked my attachments in this program, but now it is imposible to send any of them if Avast checks them, if I unthick the box to check outgoing mail in Avast config, e-mails go very quick, otherwise Thunderbirds comes back with an error.

What should I do?

This is my e-mail configuration, is it the same as yours? do I have to modify something? I continue to have the same problem!

When I include an atachment to my e-mail it starts loading them but when it gets the 100% stays there for 20 secons Avast spins only once and then the error comes saying it is a suspcious msge.  (I'm trying to send en .exe file thru yahoo mail to a friend, it si Panda UsB Vaccine)

Here a my heuristic settings, but I doubt that this will help you.

Well I don't believe there are any configurations specific to blocking attachments, they refer to the overall email and connection, etc.

If avast were blocking attachments in relation to the mails shield settings, it would be giving an alert, are you getting any alerts ?

I have no problem with attachments with thunderbird and avast7, see image, of test just carried out (sent and received).

Thanks for getting back to me.

I'm not receiving any alert from Avast, I'm receiving an alert from Thunderbird saying that pandausbvaccine.exe is suspicious, I guess that is the problem, the server from yahoo is getting back to me saying it is suspicious because of an .exe file since I do not have problems sending a picture, mp3 or other than an .exe file

Thanks any way... You can close the thread...rm

...I guess that is the problem, the server from yahoo is getting back to me saying it is suspicious because of an .exe file...

Zip it up then.
Be sure before that it's really clean though..!!

You're welcome.

There is probably a setting in the tbird settings (I can't recall off hand) as I suspect that it will consider any .exe file suspicious, as has been mentioned, zipping gets round these crude so called security blocks ?
