MT4 Email Alert Program Blocked by Zone Alarm Free Firewall
Hello,
I have my MT4 liveupdate loader and my charts working great while Zone Alarm Free Firewall is running but when I try and send a test email alert to my text messaging on my cell phone using MT4 Email test, Zone Alarm is blocking the text message. Unfortunately, the free version of Zone Alarm is not telling me which program is requesting access to the Internet. I have set all Inbound and Outbound Trusted and Internet Zones to "Allow" in Zone Alarm for the MT4 terminal.exe program with no success. As soon as Zone Alarm is turned off, the MT4 messages are sent to my cell phone perfectly.
Perhaps MT4 is launching a special program for sending email which I also need to designate in Zone Alarm for outbound access. It seems unusual that Zone Alarm tells me MT4 charts wants access to my computer, then asks me will I allow it, but when MT4 sends an email, Zone Alarm is not prompting me to allow a specific program outbound access.
Does anyone know how to get Email Alerts to go through Zone Alarm Free firewall securely?

I'm using ZoneAlarm Pro version:6.1.737.000 and haven't had the problem. Once I enabled it (as you described) it's been working fine - to my email account (not text message).
