uTorrent is trying to send e-mail messages (as per Zone Alarm)

[yosoygac]

Greetings, have updated to 1.8.3.15772 and to my big surprise found

this morning a warning from Zone Alarm asking whether I was agreable

to grant permission to uTorrent to send e-mail messages.

According to ZA the program was willing to connect to 195.242.193.23:SMTP

Not having a clue of what was going on here have stopped such activity, just in case something wrong. But uTorrent is still working fine and are downloading at about 85.7 k this very moment.

Any idea of what was that? Did I made something wrong? Is that request a normal, legit one?

Thanks beforehand!

Last but not least, I got the 1.8.3.15772 from the official website.

Regards!!!

uT sends no email. It's already covered here:

You should change your firewall, ZA is really buggy and old-school, especially on Vista.

Thanks for the info, will look into it.

I forgot to mention I am still using old XP... have not time to waste on Vista.

And I would like to add:

bt.no_connect_to_services: This option tells µTorrent not to connect to peers using ports specified in bt.no_connect_to_services_list as their listening ports. This stops firewalls from complaining about µTorrent trying to send an e-mail.

Problem: Hostile software is on your computer.

Solution: Remove Zone Alarm.

I'm not joking:
