Skype is trying to transmit e-mail message!?

Posted on March 24, 2006 by Dragan Pleskonjic

This is interesting: suddenly ZoneAlarm firewall, installed on my computer, announced that Skype.exe is trying to transmit e-mail message. I haven’t been doing anything with Skype at moment. I didn’t ask Skype to send any messages.

What do you think, should I allow this? Certainly not, but how it happened that Skype come to position to send mail without my knowledge?

    Zanimljivo. Isto mi se desilo sa Zone-om dok sam testirao neke adrese na Internetu sa Super Scanner alatom poznate firme Foundstone. Nisam mogao da dodjem sebi. Ili nesto nije u redu sa firewall-om ili su proizvodjaci ovih alata poprilicno bezobrazni. A i naivni. ?
