Error message each time I attempt to send e mail

'your e mail message was unable to be sent because the connection to your mail server was interrupted'

This is a Norton message.  Why is Norton stopping my e mails? 

  1. Many thanks. That seems to have cured my problem.

Try turning off Norton Outgoing Email Scanning (it is not necessary and does nothing to protect you, so is totally expendable).  While Norton displays the message you are seeing, it is actually coming from you email service provider.  Read the following for more information:
