All of the 4 PCs have personal firewall turned on, all have SAV real-time
protection on -- exact same settings. I also tried to turn off personal
firewall and SAV off, but on the 2 PCs that I could not send email before, I
still can't do it.  On the 2 PCs that I can send email out, it doesn't matter
whether personal firewall and/or SAV is on or off, I can always send mails
out.

When I try to send emails out on the "failed" PCs, the maillog shows:

I also, tried on my FC5 system, the same situation.  I just could not figure
it out why.

Thanks!
