YW & thanks for the feedback, Doc.

Turns out my old router seemed to be the culprit (when I hooked up directly
to cable modem, everything worked like a charm). New router, no problem.
Thanks for all your help.

Windows version?
Are you running a third-party firewall (e.g., Comodo; ZoneAlarm) or are you
using the Windows Firewall?
If you connect via a router, does the behavior persist when connecting
directly to the modem?
Do you get this error when attempting to send any message or just some?
It certainly looks like cox.net is blocking it on their end, Doc. <shrug>

3. Do not install the Email Scanner*.
4. Manually update AVG AV and reboot.
5. If the problem persists, your current Identity may be damaged,
especially if its the default Main Identity. Try one or more of your
accounts in a new Named Identity (File > Identities > Add new identity).
Assuming all is well, (1) compact all folders in the old identity, (2)
import messages from the old identity into the new one, and then (3)
delete the old one (File > Identities > Manage Identities).
*Email scanning provides no additional protection and even Symantec says
it's not necessary:
<paste>
Disabling Email Scanning does not leave you unprotected against viruses
that are distributed as email attachments. Norton AntiVirus Auto-Protect
scans incoming files as they are saved to your hard drive, including
and email attachments. Email Scanning is just another layer on top of
this. To make sure that Auto-Protect is providing the maximum protection,
keep Auto-Protect enabled and run LiveUpdate regularly to ensure that you
have the most recent virus definitions.

works
fine. The server works if I access it through my ISP's webmail service.
Here's what happened: I had to take my system apart a couple days ago
(carpet installed) and, when I reconnected everything today, the first
thing
that happened was AVG antivirus downloaded a HUGE update. I then went to
send an email and got the message:
An unknown error has occurred. Account: 'chrisnsue', Server:
'smtp.west.cox.net', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '554
fed1rmimpo02.cox.net bizsmtp connection refused from 68.5.17.118', Port:
25,
Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 554, Error Number: 0x800CCC6F
Here's what I've tried: Doublechecked all my account names are accurate
and
have the right server names entered. Uninstalled and reinstalled AVG,
this
time without the email scanner. Turned firewall off. Uninstalled and
reinstalled OE6. Turned firewall back on. Nothing changes. The error
comes
IMMEDIATELY on clicking "send," so it's not like I'm having trouble
finding
the server.
Google and microsoft.com have been no help whatsoever. This error code
is
so
ambiguous that I haven't found any useful articles anywhere. Any ideas?
