First, if I telnet to the machine from a windows box, I receive the

the first command I send seems to be ignored until I send a second
<enter> which I assume translates to<crlf>. At that point, I get a bad
syntax message from the box. Further commands function properly though
and the email is created and sent as expected.
Some anti-virus solution include a SMTP proxy that can break the
dialogue in a similar way. I've seen some McAfee versions doing
something like this

Simon, thanks for your response. The link you provide suggests that
the McAfee product is completely blocking port 25 and that isn't the
case here. It did get me to thinking about my AV solution though. I
know it does email scanning. I happen to use AVG. A quick search on
AVG and port 25 found this discussion:

In case anyone is following along, it suggests that AVG is the culprit
in some other intermittent email related issues. It gives me an avenue
to consider and test. I'll report back if I find anything definitive.
Thanks again!
Steve
