Hi guys, Anyone have any experience configuring TB! to work with ZoneAlarm personal firewall and a local mail server (actually I am using Computer Associates EZ Personal Firewall but from what I can see it is exactly the same as ZoneAlarm in all but name)?
I have a Mailtraq mail server installed and working locally on my machine and have everything configured so that everything works almost perfectly except, with the personal firewall running, every so often TB! will download duplicate messages from the server. There appears to be no pattern to which duplicate messages are retrieved i.e. they could be from last week or from 10 months ago. I can find no help on this matter from the firewall help file and cannot get the web-based tech support to work for me either so was hoping that someone out there has a similar setup that works ok. Incidentally, I only noticed this happening using TB! version 2.01.3 so rolled back to the previous version but the problem didn't go away. Also, with the same personal firewall installed on another machine in the same LAN i.e. a machine that does not have a mail server on, everything works OK, there are no dupes - the firewall is configured in exactly the same way on both machines. The presence of the mail server on the problem machine is obviously the key here. Turn off the firewall and everything works fine. Any ideas?
