Hi, I'm having a ptoblem with sending e-mails using Outlook Express 6.0 .
My
OS is Windows XP. I am also using Norton Virus protection which is updared
regularly.

The error message I recieve is

An unknown error has occurred. Account: 'pop.ntlworld.com', Server:
'smtp.ntlworld.com', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '421
aamtaout02-winn.ispmail.ntl.com connection refused from [86.27.210.20]',
Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 421, Error Number: 0x800CCC67


0x800CCC67 SMTP_421_NOT_AVAILABLE Command not available.
Somehow either OE or the server screwed up or you have something like an
anti-virus scanning your email and it did sonething strange.

Email scanning should be turned off in any anti-virus. Also exclude EML
files from the scan. It provides no protection not provided by the regular
resident protection.
Besides that, McAfee,Trend and Norton are not compatible with Windows Mail
and Outlook Express and should be uninstalled. The latest version of
Trend's anti-virus seems to be causing problems too.
