David and Barbara on Astarte emailed the following:
I spent more than 4 hours over the last couple of days, sorting a problem with Norton virus protection and Sailmail. Mostly chatting on line with Norton. To make a long story a bit shorter, when I updated Norton, it affected the telnet function of Sailmail. Norton denied internet access with telnet.
This is the text I received from norton on how to fix the problem. they did it on line, but I asked for a text description to share. It seems a bit dodgey, but wanted to pass along the info.

My suggestion for folks having issues is to contact norton and do a chat, and let them remotely fix the issue. It is definitely a Norton issue, when we disabled Norton I got telnet to work, as soon as we enabled Norton telnet was denied internet access.
So there you have it. (If you need to contact Michael use mkhawkins@aol.com)
