I am quite aware Dan had a Quadruple Heart Bypass and I was one of the
people that sent well wishes. Anyway you both still haven't given me any
information to my actual question so I wont bother. Get well soon Dan

Are you sure it's the AV causing the problem?

After a bit of playing I am sure now yes because I disabled the AV and the email (2.4Mb) sent fine in one email. Although Dan and GWTC say I don't need to scan outgoing mail, there is nothing wrong with being over protective is there?






If I make separate emails with say two pics in then it goes through but this is far more time consuming and would prefer to limit the amount of emails sent.



How big are the files you are sending (separately and individually). Perhaps you are exceeding the max allowed size to email? This may be set by your smtp server and beyond your control.
