I updated my AV software and the problem disappeared! Looking back,
it may have started after the last AV update.
Excellent, although I'm surprised anti-virus software is monitoring port
25 for outgoing email, and worse corrupting it.
What make?
I've got AdAware. I was a little surprised myself. I didn't even have
email checking enabled.
I have to say though, it was likely my fault. The previous update
that caused the problem I had trouble installing and reinstalled 3
times. It didn't really need reinstalling. I just thought it did.
I've had AV software corrupt FTP transfers in the past, sometimes
accidentally, sometimes deliberately.
The most annoying was my attempt to download a 6 gig Virtual Machine
image which my hardware firewall stopped at 4 gigs when it found a
development tool many AV packages consider a hacking tool. My FTP
application kept repeating the download for 12 hours until I stopped it
manually.
I don't run into these things often. That leaves me rather clueless
when I do.
Thanks so much. This was very bothersome to me. Now I can forget it :)
George
