A customer of mine is using ATT/SBC DSL service at their business and recently was informed they needed to change their email settings so that both POP and SMTP were using new server names and had SSL enabled.
Apparently McAfee VirusScan (Build 9.0.10, Engine Version 4.4.00) doesn't like the SMTP SSL port of 465 that ATT has told my customer to use. Basically it breaks sending in Outlook 2003.
The fix: disable outbound email virus checking in VirusScan by doing the following:
1. Double-click the McAfee icon in the icon tray (lower right)
2. Click VirusScan on the left
3. Click Configure VirusScan Options
4. Click the Advanced button
5. Click the E-Mail Scan tab
6. Uncheck "Outbound e-mail messages"
7. Click OK
8. Click OK
9. Close the SecurityCenter
The email settings for those SBC customers who can't remember:
