Much the same as AVG. I had AVG and switched to Avast. I felt it was a
better supported program, but have been told that AVG is doing better now.
Take a look.

Avast:

Choose Custom Installation and under Resident Protection, uncheck: Internet
Mail and Outlook/Exchange. (E-mail scanning).

I'll pass that on to the owner of the "Norton" machine. I don't have
any first-hand experience with Avast. Is that somewhat like what
AVG had with its Freeware a couple of years back?

You're welcome. If it were me, if not sooner, at least when the
subscription is up, I would get rid of Norton completely and replace it
with Avast, (Freeware).

Bruce,
The problem went away as soon as I disabled the
e-mail scanning in Norton.
Thanks,
Bill

What exactly happens when you try?

Does it leave the Outbox?

Does it arrive in Sent Items?

Is e-mail scanning enabled?

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

What would cause OE 6 to suddenly fail to
send e-mails with attachments. It can send
and receive e-mails without any attachments,
but won't send an e-mail with any files
attached. No errors or anything else is
reported.

I don't see anything on the Security tab for
outgoing restrictions or conditions.
