There are a few possibilities. These are the only two I know of.

1) Turn off e-mail scanning.

2) 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.
