e-mails sent out do appear in the box items sent, but are not really sent
out.
When an anti-virus scans mail it takes time. To prevent the mail program
from timing out some anti-virus programs send the mail program a message
that the mail has been sent. Then, if the anti-virus takes long enough the
mail server times out and the mail never gets sent.
Email scanning should be turned off in any anti-virus. Also exclude EML
files from the scan. It provides no
protection not provided by the regular resident protection.
Besides that, McAfee and Norton are not compatible with Windows Mail and
Outlook Express and should be uninstalled. The latest version of Trend's
anti-virus seems to be causing problems too.
