Problem sending with attachment OE6

[urraca]

I can send emails with OE6 as long they don't have attachments, as soon I add an attach no matter the size (I tryed with 3 bytes and with 400 bytes) I have the following message: Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of inactivity.
I haven't change my settings or other thing. any hint??
I have broadband and no problem receiving big attachments.

It's a connectivity issue best addressed to your ISP's technical support lines. I use free Sygate firewall instead of zone aarm. Much better utility.

What Operating System are you using?
What anti-virus and firewall are you using, hardware or soiftware or both. You really only need a firewalled Router if you're using both Software and hardware. On a LAN configuration a hardware firewall could be set not to let certain types of files out. I'd be interested to know the solution you find - there is one.

With IE open; In Tools; Internet Options; Connections tab; there should be no Dial-up connection in the 'Dial-up and Virtual private network setting' box.

Completely deleting the e-mail account and closing OE, then starting OE and setting the account up again could resolve this connectivity issue. Good Luck.
