This particular error has different fixes for different people.

First thing to try is to turn off e-mail scanning in your A/V. You
are still protected.

Then : Go to Tools>Accounts>Mail>Properties>Servers Tab. Under
*Outgoing mail server*, check the box for My server requires
authentication. Next, click the Settings button and insert your user
name, {everything before the @ in your address} and enter the
password.

There are more possibilities, but if these ideas don't work, keep
checking back for another suggestion.
