Can you elaborate?
Which is exactly the error message? Seems that heuristic of the outbound mail is alerting you...
Is there a file attached to that email? How many emails are you trying to send?

Any reason why you're using Windows SP2 that has several security vulnerablilities and Windows SP3 has been available for over a year that has perfomance enhancements and several Critical Security Updates?

In IE go to Tools then Windows Update then download and install all updates.

Go to Control Center then Security Center then set it to Automatic Updates (Recommended) or at least Notify me about updates but do not download nor install them.

Next Tuesday is Patch Tuesday and there has been 5 Critical and 4 Important updates announced that will be delivered.

Why would you need to go back to IE6 when it is so very unsecure?

You won't like it as it has XP SP3 on it.

Don't leave home without SP3 on XP.

There's no place like127.0.0.1
