I suspect that the mail scanner part of the McAffee update contained a new
or replacement for a shared COM (.DLL) component that MS Outlook uses.

For 7.x users, have you installed the latest RH updates?
My sendmail + ipop3d server on my RH 6.2 server has this problem, but my
update-to-date (kernel 2.4.9-12) 7.1 box that uses postfix and QPopper does
not have this problem. I do however, need to fix some reverse DNS issues I'm
having with my ISP, but this may or may not have something to do with it.

If anybody has any ideas on what the hell is going on, I'd sure like to
know!

Thanks,

Rob

Yes, we are seeing this happen as well. We suspect that it might be the
McAfee anitvirus scanner update that we just downloaded yesterday. But at
this point we are just guessing about the cause of the problem.

I would expect that a sudden change like this could be caused by a DNS
failure.
The other end is very likely doing a reverse DNS lookup and timing out.
