The latest AVG AntiVirus version seems to have broken smtp e-mail scanning.  Outgoing e-mail from JavaMail is now blocked, though outgoing e-mail from Thunderbird goes through without issue.  The only solution I have found for now is to disable outgoing e-mail scanning.

Testing:  

1. With e-mail shield enabled, outgoing Thunderbird works; outgoing JavaMail does not.
2. Disable e-mail shield; outgoing JavaMail now works fine.
3. Re-enable e-mail shield: outgoing JavaMail is blocked again.
4. Originally used javax.mail.1.5.2.  Subsequently updated to the most recent javax.mail.1.6.2 with the same issues during testing above.

There also seems to be another minor issue with e-mail shield:

Unselecting the option "Scan outbound mail (SMTP)" has no effect until E-Mail Shield is disabled and then re-enabled.

Is there something I'm missing?
