Re: SMTP transaction failure

[David Vanderschel]

My hint about McAfee (VirusScan 8.0) was not a red herring after all.  When I
thought I had turned it off, I had only turned off one irrelevant aspect.  When
I really prevent the McAfee stuff from running, emacs can send email OK.

But why does it foul up emacs and not OE?  Has anyone else seen this?
