Problems with emails

Can someone hep please, first of all I have no idea at all about things like this and if anyone does know what is happening I will need step by step instructions.
I send and receive lots of emails every day. My daughter can send me emails from where she works. If I try to send her one, either by starting a new one or sending it via 'reply' it comes back saying it has been refused or blocked. The person who looks after the computers where she works asked if I had Norton anti virus which I have but it has never caused this problem with anyone else I have sent emails to, he said that it was Norton was doing this and the work computer was rejecting it, hope all this makes sense. What can I do about this, I have tried to uninstall Norton but I don't know how, and should I be doing this anyway? Is there some I can do about this?

Is her email entered correctly.. you may have saved it wrong.
Is it a message you get on your PC saying it couldnt be sent.0 -
Are you sure you don't have a virus - only reason I can think of why a workplace would block emails.
You could try this to make sure:

Is norton upto date?
You could setup a hotmail account and try that.Ever get the feeling you are wasting your time? :rolleyes:0 -
there's a big possibility that your ISP has been a SPAM pest for the company your sister works for so any mails from there could be blocked and not just your email address.0
