I have a user that is having trouble sending mail - the compose screen 
comse up fine - but when you hit Send Message you eventually get a 
Server Not Found message and nothing sends. The user is running Mcafee 
- and it reports the following  McAffree scans all email before it goes 
out.  It popped up on the Mcaffree box that it was a protocol error. 
Anybody else have any problems like this ? Running HEAD
PHP 4.3.10

Thanks
