Outlook email problems

[Guest]

When I attempt to send or forwared a message, I receive and "undeliverable
notification with "No transport provider was available for delivery to this
recipient." as the explanation. What does this mean, and what is the
correction?

What version of Outlook do you have? What sort of mail accounts? Do *all*
messages get this error, or just some?

Most of my email goes out just fine. It's only when I attempt to send an
attachment that I get a "no transport provided" error. Emails with
attachments always fail no matter the recipient or the attachment or whether
I type in the recipient's email address or enter it from my Contacts.

With respect nothing here addresses my problem, tho I tried these remedies
just in case. My email normally goes out just fine, EXCEPT when I include an
attachment. THEN I get a "no transport provided" error . In short, I can send
email, but not email with an attachment.

What version of Outlook do you have? Do you have any anti-virus software
scanning your outgoing messages? If so, disable that outgoing scan.

Outlook2000. When the problem began it was SP1, but I've since installed SP3.
Funny you shd ask about antivirus software. The problem began when I tried
to forward email with several .jpg files attached. Norton AV croaked trying
to scan them. After that I disabled the "scan outgoing email" feature, but
haven't been able to send attachments since then even with NAV scanning
disabled.

Many reports indicate that simply disabling the mail scanning doesn't, in
fact, really disable it but that you have to uninstall the product and
reinstall without that feature.

Until very recently, the scan outgoing email worked fine with graphic
attachments. I'll try reinstalling, but not without that feature.

Uninstalling and reinstalling NAV fixed the problem, in case anyone else ever
runs into the same situation. I still have NAV set to scan outgoing email,
but in the future will disable it before sending attachments.

Why? Scaning of outgoing mail is a complete waste of time. It doesn't
protect you and it doesn't protect your recipients. Consider: if you did
have a virus on your machine, your antivirus program's on-access (or
real-time) scanner would have caught it when it was originally placed on
disk, therefore, there can't be any in your outgoing mail. Moreover, if
there was one on your disk that your antivirus program's on-access scanner
couldn't catch, its outgoing mail scanner won't catch it either, since both
use the same virus database for scanning. Thus, scanning outgoing mail
NEVER helps.
