Hi all, i am using kerio personal firewall. everytime i try to send or receive email through outlook express, i get an alert from kerio asking me if I want to allow this application through, i am always creating a rule and checking the option for this as well as clicking on the permit button. But each time i am always asked the same question. if this happens in any other application, as long as i check the box which creates a rule and click the permitt button, it doesn't ask me again. just wondering if anyone knows why outlook express is always asking for permission to be allow through.
