SMTP abruptly dies after installing Windows Update security patch.

[Guest]

All

I'm having a strange problem with my SMTP abruptly dieing. My Outlook 2002 sp2 is able to receive but abruptly stopped being able to send through SMTP last week after running Microsoft Update and installing recent security patches and installing Norton Antivirus.

I've uninstalled NAV and rolled back the security patches but am still unable to send through SMTP. I'm using 2 different SMTP servers both with authorization on private servers (not ISP) with settings that worked up until last week. I've tried with a different machine, same settings work fine.

I'm running XP Pro sp2 with all patches in place. I've reset all IP configs, enabled and disabled the networking firewall and confirmed my ISP is not blocking port 25.

Right now the SMTP is stuck. (I've logged the outlook transfers but was unable to post to this bord due to MS server configuration errors - please give me an e-mail and I'll send the log to anyone interested.)

Any help would be appreciated!

If you look at your account settings in Outlook, is the outgoing (SMTP)
server set correctly. I remember there was an issue with NAV resetting the
SMTP server to localhost (127.0.0.1) in some instances.
