When you send email using SMTP with McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 8 installed, these messages might appear:

McAfee VirusScan Enterprise has a default access-protection rule setup to prevent mass mailing worms from sending mail. If sas.exe is not included in the exception list within the McAfee access-protection rule, the error messages appear in SAS and the email is not sent.

To add sas.exe to the McAfee access protection rule navigate to Start > Programs > McAfee > VirusScan Console > Access Protection > Access Protection Properties > Access Protection tab > Categories > Anti-virus Standard Protection > Rules > Prevent mass mailing worms from sending mail > Rule Details > Processes to exclude: > sas.exe > OK.
