Hi Mike,

The error code is typical of a problem on the mail server end, not yours.
Contact your mail service provider for assistance.

Running Home Premium & recently I started having mail problems.
"Server unexpectedly terminated the connection... socket error 10053
error number: 0x800CCC0F"
Most of what I've read refers to disabling virus scanning or deleting
a digital id, but there is no digital ID & I have disabled virus
(Trend Micro 2007) scanning & still no help.
Any other suggestions?

Yeah, another fly in the ointment is the size of some of the messages
sent to this company.
I've seen 7 to 10 & even up to 22MB (yes, 22 MEGABYTE) attachments &
then on top of that, they are sent to lists that are made up of
everyone in the company!
And they complain about slow internet speeds, at times - go figure!
I am trying to set up ftp directories that these attachments can be
uploaded to, rather than be sent to everyone's  email address, but
we'll see how that goes...
==================
There seem to be technical educational issues at this company.   There are
services such as YouSendIt that work very well for exactly this kind of file
transfer.

I know a number of people who send fairly large "industrial audio" files via
YouSendIt and are very happy with its performance.   The free "Lite" version
will transfer 100MB files.  I've received a few of these files this way, up
to 63 meg, and it's been very fast.http://www.yousendit.com/

But changing this kind of poor practice needs strong support from the top
levels of the company.

The top management has to approve and communicate a policy limiting email
size and directing staff to send attachments via, say, YouSendIt; only a
link is sent via mail.   And the number of recipients can be limited; both
of these restrictions are implemented on the server itself.

The benefit will be that both the mail server and the network itself will
give *much* better response, once they stop just using them incorrectly.
They won't require upgrading, which will save the company significant
amounts, and more actual work will be committed.

They've already expressed interest in a faster Internet connection, as
they wouldn't want to tell the customer to change!
