I have XAMPP and Drupal (PHP) installed on a Windows XP Pro system at home. I also have a dynamic IP (no-ip.com) account.
I've run into the problem of not being able to send our emails from a PHP script (in Drupal) if the Norton settings enable checking on outgoing mail. When this setting is enabled (to scan outgoing messages), I get the following message from the NAV program, and the message doesn't get sent:
----------------------------------------------------------
Symantec Email Proxy
----------------------------------------------------------
Your email message to <> with the subject of <> was unable to be sent because the connection to your mail server was interrupted. Please open your email client and re-send the message from the Sent Messages folder.
----------------------------------------------------------
1003,9
----------------------------------------------------------
This shows up in a window. As I said, disabling the outgoing scan in Norton fixes the problem of emails not getting sent from my website, but I still want to scan outgoing messages.
An oddity of this, is that this 'interrupt' failure occurs when sending to a hotmail address, but not when sending to my work email address. This leads me to believe that this could be some sort of timeout issue in PHP???
Any help on this would greatly be appreciated.
