Hello Mozilla Support,

I am not able to send email. I receive the following message: An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: Spam detected by content scanner.

I have been using Thunderbird for several months and haven't had a problem sending email until now. I am definitely not sending spam. I haven't made any changes to my account or server and it is not due to a firewall.

Please help.

Thank you, Victor

Check content of message as sent to see if there is additional content, such as a sig attachment that some antivirus software insert.
