Re: Outlook Express mail server reverts to 127.0.01

Yes. Any and all antivirus software should have email scanning disabled.

Bruce,
The link below is very useful thanks. Does it apply to McAfee (there is a new McAfee 'Security Centre' upgrade), as well as Symantec?
Regards,
Brett

This is usually caused by scanning e-mail, or an anti-spam program.

Turn off e-mail scanning in your anti-virus program. It is a redundant layer of protection that eats up CPUs and causes a multitude of problems such as time-outs and account setting changes. Your up-to-date A/V program will continue to protect you sufficiently. For more, see:

Outlook Express mail server reverts to 127.0.0.1 and name reverts to my full
email address. I can correct the pop server addres and name and then it
allows to get and send mail. How can I stop this from making these changes?
Thanks,
Mike
