This issue may occur if McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 8.0 is installed on the computer that is running SharePoint Portal Server 2003 or on a computer that is running Windows SharePoint Services. McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 8.0 contains a feature to help prevent mass-mailing worm programs from sending SMTP e-mail messages.

- Start the McAfee VirusScan Console program. To do this, right-click the McAfee VirusScan icon in the notification area, and then click VirusScan Console.
- In the VirusScan Console dialog box, double-click Access Protection.
- Click the Reports tab, and then click View Log.
