Hello tbudl, I have been following the threads on the *freezing* problems associated with ZAP. I have experienced this as well and have found that it is always associated with the same file that is being downloaded from the mail server. It stalls on the same one every time. When I disable ZAP, the file downloads just fine. When I look at the file I cannot find anything unusual about it. ZAP must be detecting something in the file and instead of popping up a message or quarantining the file it somehow stalls TB while it is retrieving the file from the server.
I looked at Kerio, and it does not have a feature which checks the content or extensions on email. Or if it does it is not included on the list of features on their website. If my suspicion is correct, that it is the email monitoring function of ZAP that is the culprit, this also explains why Kerio works so well with TB. I have turned off the email checking feature of ZAP and will see if the problem returns. ------------------------- Al Jacobus v1.62 Christmas Edition on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 -------------------------- VBG> Hello tbudl, VBG> Maybe some of you are aware I've been experiencing VBG> *freezes* on my XP system while running The Bat! along VBG> side Zone Alarm Pro.
