Sigate or any other firewall does not block e-mail. If you have allowed outlook express through the firewall both ways, you can receive and send e-mail ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andy Collins" <andy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi Martin -Firstly, somebody said that Sygate was out of date now [unless I upgrade andallow symantek nonsence on to my system], but I did check it's list of software, and OE was set to"allow", so a strange one; I doubled check by enabling Sygate again, and when I did, it blocked my outgoing messages, disabling it, and they got sent! Isn't it pretty unlikely that with both the Windows firewall on, and a hardware fire wall in my router, that I'll get 'hacked'? - Andy----- Original Message ----- From: "Martin Dudley" <dudleym@xxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, March 07, 2008 9:59 AM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Sygate blocking email| The windows firewall being only one way is severely flawed and can easily| be set to allow both way trafic by someone with the knowledge to do so.
