The real role of the AV here is to block smtp except to the submission

free) is a better tool at that.
but not sure OP can ask his users to disable smtp scanning on their
hosts.
I'm confused here - the Avast is at the end users computer, right?
Pretty simple. If the user enables Avast mail scanning, and mail can't
be sent, then they disable Avast e-mail scanning and it works, tell the
user to disable e-mail scanning.
Back when I worked at an ISP, we must have told that to users a dozen
times a week.
