severedsolo Posted March 21, 2010 Report Share Posted March 21, 2010 Really odd... Zone Alarm has just told me that utorrent was trying to send an email message, any ideas why? or was it actualy trying to do something else and utorrent misidentified it?

Ultima Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 To be clear, ZA is assuming that any traffic going toward a remote machine's port 25 is automatically SMTP communication. What it fails to take into account is the fact that just because a port is well-known doesn't mean it'll only be used for that well-known purpose. In this situation, another peer is simply using port 25, so µTorrent attempts to connect to that peer on port 25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
