AVG hosed up my mail account

BelchFire · 02-02-2006, 08:20 PM

I just tried to install AVG 7.1, and now I can't send mail.

Win98SE,
Netscape 7.1 mail (been working FINE; I manage three accounts with it)
Norton is running (even during the install of AVG)
Once I installed AVG, I could check mail, but can't send. I get the following error message:

An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: Message rejected. Please verify that your email address is correct in your Mail preferences and try again.

WTH? I've checked the mail settings for that account, and they're still set to the Norton default. pop3.norton.antivirus, and the user name shows user/my.mail.account which has always worked.

I uninstalled AVG, and didn't gain anything. Then restarted a couple of times. I've even tried retyping all the account settings but can't get past the message.

What's up with that?

This does not appear to be a browser-related problem. I'm moving it to firewalls.
