I've got XAMPP running fine in terms of basic Drupal functions with the Mercury email server, but I'm having trouble sending mail to my hotmail account. From the hotmail account, the email just doesn't come in. On the server, I get a Notrton altert that the message has been 'interrupted'. I can provide more details on the exact message, but i was wondering if anyone has come across this.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Also, here's the message I'm getting through NAV on my server:

Symantec Email Proxy

Your email message to <> with the subject of <> was unable to be sent because the connection to your mail server was interrupted. Please open your email client and re-send the message from the Sent Messages folder.

Well, I disabled scanning of outgoing emails with NAV, and sending emails now works. It must have something to do with NAV trying to intercept the PHP email script. If anyone has any experience with this, I'd really appreciate some help.

This is kind of a temporary fix for me. I'd still like to have the server check outgoing emails for threats if possible.

Thanks,

If you have a OS based anti-virus scanner configured to scan email messages or all outgoing port 25 traffic, then you will have a problem. It sounds as if the AV client is locking the messages and taking longer then a timeout to the sedning message

You may need to disable the port 25/client based email scanning of your product or switch to a more responsive one. I will note on a win32 platform I have had good results with hMailServer and Clamwin antivirus.

As this does not appear to be a Drupal issue, I am marking it closed.
If this is not the case, please reopen with additional information.
