The last two weeks or so, I've been unable to reliably send emails with
attachments over 1 MB or so. Under 1 MB, and it sends normally; from 1

won't
send at all. When it doesn't send, I get the error message:
"Sending of message failed. The message could not be sent because the

See what happens if you try to send a large attachment with a different
local mail client (looks like you're on XP? so Outlook Express might
work for this test). That way you'll be trying to send a large
attachment thru the same SMTP server from the same source, and can see
if the problem really has anything to do with SeaMonkey.
I just tried this, using Outlook Express 6. It has the same problems
Seamonkey does, giving this message for a 2 MB message:
"Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible
causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long
period of inactivity. Subject 'test 8 - 2 MB attachment', Account:
'EricGoDaddy', Server: 'smtpout.secureserver.net', Protocol: SMTP,
Port: 80, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10053, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F"
A 1 MB attachment sent with no issues. So, it's not Seamonkey, but
perhaps it's Win XP, because I can use the GoDaddy accounts on my
iPad, going through the same router (but with a wifi instead of
ethernet connection the Win XP desktop uses), and send 3 MB attachments.
Could be that your anti-virus is configured to check mails .... (i reset
this option).
Checking things slow down the activity ... enough to trigger the "long
period of inactivity" decision to kill the connection.
Bingo! I am unable to send a 4 MB attachment with my Norton Internet
Security Smart Firewall enabled, but it sends easily with NIS Smart
Firewall disabled. This is true on both computers. The iPads don't use
NIS, so it's not causing them any problems, and they can send large
attachments.
Maybe it's Norton, maybe GoDaddy has their timeout settings set too
close - who knows? I'll start with the GoDaddy forum to see if others
have this issue, the try adjusting NIS, then Norton support if that
doesn't work, and
