My AV e-mail scanning has been turned off for years, and I just checked to
be sure. MPTP is set at 127.0.0.1. I haven't changed this recently, so I
don't understand why I'm suddenly having this problem.

depending on your area, or do you see 127.0.0.1?

If you don't have the correct server information, correct it.

This is usually caused by scanning e-mail, or an anti-spam program.

Turn off e-mail scanning in your anti-virus program. It is a redundant
layer of protection that eats up CPUs and causes a multitude of problems
such as time-outs and account setting changes. Your up-to-date A/V
program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more, see:

I keep getting an error message when trying to send mail. It stopped for
a while this morning, and now it's returned. It happens for a test
message that has no attachment and only one word in the message and for
a brief message with an attachment. The error has two parts:

1. The message could not be sent because its size exceeded the server's
limit. You can use the option, located in Tools | Accounts | Properties |
Advanced, to break messages into smaller parts. Subject 'test new',
Account: ', Server: '127.0.0.1', Protocol: SMTP,
Server Response: '552 xspR1W0015T45M80000000 This message was

message, and has therefore been blocked. Please visit

2. Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible
causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long
period of inactivity. Account: ', Server:
