Do you have an Internet Firewall enabled to scan traffic? I am wondering if
the McAfee Firewall plays into this configuration?

| Incoming seems to be working, but outgoing is failing
| on "larger" emails. My tests have been very crude, but
| emails less tha 5k are going through fine, where emails
| greater than 800k (an attachment) get the send error.
|
| Very puzzling. Don't understand what has changed.

||| error 0x8004210b - timed out while waiting for response

||| professional.
|||
||| I checked the help archives, and there seems to be a
||| known issue with linksys routers that cause this error,
||| but (to my knowledge) I am not using a linksys router, I
||| only have an efficient networks speedstream 5100 DSL

|||
||| I contacted my ISP who informs me that there is no
||| network issues, and I disabled my firewall and still
||| received the same sending error. A reboot did not correct
||| the issue.
|||
||| The only thing that I can think of that is different from
||| when my email was working and now (with the error) are
||| some XP security patches that I downloaded and installed
||| (I should have noted what I installed, but I didn't - my
||| mistake). Is this a known problem with a fix?
|||
||| Thanks.
