First of all hello everyone

I am using BC (BitComet) right now and my Zonealarm firewall came up with a prompt requesting access for BC to use an SMTP function from within the BC .exe itself.

I myself cannot act upon this but i thought it best to inform someone out there who may be able to inestigate further

Good day

yeah some people have network admins that only allow incoming connections on port 25 (for email)
some of these people configure their p2p apps to use port 25 to bypass the admins blocking of p2p (mostly collages and buisnesess, people with fast connections i might add)

your crappy firewall sees outbound connections to remote port 25 and thinks your p2p app is sending email :p
get a real firewall, and quit running around yelling "the sky is falling"
