OE won't send after XP-SP2 installed

[Guest]

I can receive mail, but Outlook Express won't send and I've tried setting up
a new account and removing all firewalls and anti-virus barriers. I'm trying
to avoid doing a System Restore after downloading XP service pack 2. Any
suggestions?

Do you get any error messages? Post them in their entirety.

Sorry, here is the error message. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks.

That's usually due to e-mail scanning. But if you turned it off and
still had the problem, post to the OE newsgroup for better advice:

Thanks for your time, Bruce. FYI, I did a pre-SP2 System Restore and nothing
was resolved. I believe that the installation of SP2 somehow corrupted some
registry files so I anticipate that nothing short of a full Windows XP
re-install is going to help. That should take up a full day re-installing all
the productivity software programs and downloading all the updates I had on
my system. I envision somewhere between 20 and 30 re-boots in my forecasted
future tomorrow. Sucks to be me.
