I am experiencing a problem with my email (Outlook Express 6) I find I can not send out emails with attachments. It seems to get part of the way thorugh the process then stops and disconnects my ISP connection. The message stays in the Outbox and stops any further email activity until I delete it. I am running MS 2003 (Small Bus ed) with PC-cillin 2004 and am upto date with MS updates (except for the recent .net one).

Advice appreciated

338413 2005-03-27 09:27:00 What size attachments are these? Are you connecting via dialup or broadband? Have you tried to disable PC-cillin from scanning outgoing emails?

Thanks for the prompt response

I will try disabling the outgoing scan in PC-cillin

The last attachment I tried to email was 43kbs.

I am using dialup but have Adaware and Spybot installed also

338415 2005-03-27 11:00:00 Also disable "hangup after sending and receiving" in Tools/Options/Connections. Safari (3993)

Thanks for the advice It appears the problem is related to my Firewalls (I had two PC-cillin and Windows) I have disabled the PC-cillin one and so far it looks as though I can now email attachments.

Thanks again

338417 2005-04-05 09:44:00 the PC-Cillin firewall is probably better than window's one, I suggest kill the windows firewall and use PC-Cillin (the windows firewall likes to block everything as its completely paranoid) Agent_24 (57)
