Details

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier: version 1.5 Beta 1 (20050908)

when uploading an attachment of 240kb or more, the smtp server 
reports 'sending of message failed because opening of smtp 
server "mail.aapt.net.au" failed'. Sending the same file with version 1.0 
(20041206) produces the desired result.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.select an email address
2.attach a file
3.send

Actual Results:  
The dowloading progress bar stayed at 98% untill the error message came up

Expected Results:  
Sent the file
My problem is essentially the same. I cannot send large attachments but my limit is only about 30-40k. I can send them with O.E. no problem. I can receive large attachments with no problem. I had no problems with Thunderbird 1.0, only when I went to 1.5 and XP-sp2 from W98-se. It too goes to 98% immediately and takes awhile for the error message to come up, which is different from this original post. It says:
Send message error:
"The message could not be sent because connecting to smtp server smtp.inreach.com failed. The server may be unable or is refusing SMTP connections. Please verify that your SMTP server setting is correct and try again or else contact your network administrator". My ISP has not found any problem on their end.
When I first got on line with XP-sp2 it immediately downloaded 32 updates. I did not get to try Thunderbird 1.5 before that happened. Those updates changed the way some of my older programs ran. What do I do now?
By switching OFF the outgoing mail check in Avast, I can send any size attachement without trouble. The latest from Avast is that they have a bug in the redirection of the attachement for virus scanning and should be fixed in the next upgrade.
Bug exists in anti-virus platform. Closing as INVALID
