ZoneAlarm Pro blocking Mail server! |
|
|
I have Zone Alarm Pro (v5.1) installed on this Win XP Pro SP2 computer for a
year. Recently I started getting the renewal nag screen, which I don't want
to do yet. All of a sudden Zone Alarm is blocking access to my mail server
and making it impossible for me to send or receive mail. The message I get
is "connection to SMTP server has failed." I have never used the e-mail
function and it is turned off. This just started about the time the nag
screen started.
I know it is Zone Alarm causing the problem, because when I turn it off, I
can send and receive e-mail. When I restart it, the server is blocked. It
does not block web or news access.
Any one have any experience with the nag screen or blocking of the SMTP
server? I realize I can turn it off, but I will not be a happy camper if
Zone Labs built this into the software on purpose to get people to renew.
Thanks,
Clark
