Re: Sending & Receiving Error - Outlook 2002

I do have a firewall, Mcafee Personal Firewall Plus
version 5.0, API 5.0.1.5. Both firewall and virus scan.

I notice that even when I turn off the firewall, I still
have the send issue and error. But, to add confusion,
with firewall and virus scan disabled, the firewall is
still alerting me about repetative outbound email (I'm
sending the same test message while debugging). I would
think with the firewall disabled that it wouldn't detect
my outgoing email.

To top it all off, even though Outlook gives me an error
message and the mail stays in the draft box after
sending, the email is getting to the destination.

This is starting to sound like a Mcafee issue... any
other debug suggestions while I ping Mcafee?

Thanks for the help.
