email test

The email test in Outlook 2003 fails if the firewall in Windows XP is on. I
receive e amils OK if it is off. Any ideas?

I did this earlier. It will not pass the test with Outlook allowed. Doesn't
it defeat the purpose of a firewall to except the email pro

It defeats the purpose of the email client to not except it in the
firewall.

The purpose of a firewall is to prevent unauthorised access.
Presumably you would like to send/receive mail?
