Email sends but remains in outbox

[thedoogs]

I have had a number of occasions where I have sent an email and it has
remained in the outbox and continued to send until I have noticed and deleted
it.
I have confirmed the email has actually sent (one was to my work where I
turned up the next morning for a full inbox with over 200 messages from me!)
but it will not automatically leave the outbox.
The most recent occurrence was an excel file that was about 1.72mb. The
file was sent by fight clicking the file and selecting send to mail
recipient. No extra text was added to the email and send and receive was
clicked rather than waiting for it to automatically send.
I have Outlook 2007 on Vista 64, Trend Micro internet security and no other
obvious problems.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have had this happen to me a
number of times on this computer.

The usual cause of this is having your antivirus program scan mail. It's
completely unnecessary . Uninstall your AV program and reinstall it without
the mail scanning feature.
