No error message. No reference to an earlier post. No information by which
to know of what you speak.

OTOH, I see something which you have not _said_ that you tried. Did you
overlook enumerating this, or did you not do this? Turn off your email anti
virus checker. Not the memory resident, on access scanner, just the email
scanner. Lots of folks have found that to fix MSOE mail problems.
