Hi all

I am trying to send an email through my application (VB.NET 2005). The email
goes as required. However if I turn 'Internet Auto Protect' feature ON in
Norton Antivirus, the email goes only when I exit from my VB application.

Please assist.

Source Code

**********
Dim Mail As New MailMessage()

Mail.From = New MailAddress([email protected])

Mail.To.Add("(e-mail address removed)")

Mail.Subject = "Subject Test Email"

Mail.Body = "This is the body of the test email"

Dim Smtp As New SmtpClient("000.000.000.000")

Smtp.Send(Mail)

***********
 
Your AV software is probably blocking port 25 which is SMTP (mail xfer
protocol.) Reconfigure your AV to not block this port and your problem will
likely go away.
