I have had 3 other friends test it and the same thing happens. The program has not changed, but Windows XP has. My program can connect to any other port (that I've tried) on a remote machine. However, when trying to connect to port 25 (SMTP), immediately, socket error 10053 occurs, and the socket fails to connect because of it. The problem is not just with my program, but others such as AgileMail (http://www.flashpeak.com/agilemail/agilemail.htm) and Simple Email Client ([url]http://www.codeguru.com/Cpp/I-N/int...icle.php/c3441/)[/url]. The problem is only with Windows XP. I think it has to do something with a recent Windows XP update. It seems like it may be some kind of security issue whwn a program tries to connect to a remote port 25. Yes, Eudora can send email just fine. Does anyone know what the problem is? I am stumped.

And proxy client, I am not using a proxy. These programs connect directly to the SMTP server, on port 25.

I've been going nuts trying to use blat, a program that sends smtp emails. I've been using it without any problems for some months - and now I get the socket error 100053 every time I use it. However I've just discovered that if I turn my McAfee VirusScan 8 off it'll work fine. No more socket errors.
