I'm having a problem sending email in Mandrake 8.1.  Today I tried to 
send an email with a file attachment (1.8 mb) and I couldn't send in 
either Kmail or Mozilla Messenger.  When I click on send in either 
program it appears to be sending the data and then just aborts.
Kmail gives me this error message:

Sending failed:
a SMTP error occured.
Command: CONNECT
Response: Error reading socket.
The message will stay inthe 'outbox' folder until you either
fix the problem (e.g. a broken address) or remove the message
from the 'outbox' folder.

Note: other messages will also be blocked by this message, as
long as it is in the 'outbox' folder.

The following transport protocol was used:
smtp://shawmail:25

Mozilla Messenger gives an error message of:
sending of message failed

The funny thing is I can send smaller text messages with no problems it 
only seems to happen when I try to attach a file.  My isp has a limit of 
5 mb so I'm well below that with the 1.8 mb file.

Can anybody shed some light on what might be the problem and what I can 
do to fix it?

TIA
Steve M.
