Is this a Windows machine?

If so, the problem is almost certainly due to anti-virus software on your system that sets itself up as a man-in-the-middle for "outgoing mail filtering."

Some of these programs have a list of programs which are allowed to evade the filter. Of course, any self-respecting virus writer knows this, and will make his virus masquerade as one of these programs.

Disable the "outgoing mail filtering" in your anti-virus software. It's a useless feature, and it's harmful. Outgoing mail filtering is properly the responsibility of the mail submission server, not the user's PC.
