Your internet provider may have made a change to whether they let
connections to another company's port 25 through, without telling you.
I think the intermedia.net instructions include a way to use another
port if you have trouble with port 25.
The easiest way I've found to disable email scanning for the free
version of avast! is to uninstall it, then do a custom install where
you tell it to leave out the part that scans email. The paid version
may have more options I haven't seen.
