If you configure the Edge to deny POP3 email when it cannot contact the spamBlocker server, it
causes a conflict with Microsoft Outlook. When Outlook starts a connection to the email server,
spamBlocker tries to contact the spamBlocker server. If the spamBlocker server is not available,
spamBlocker stops the email download. When this happens, a cycle starts. Outlook tries to
download email and spamBlocker stops the download. This continues until the Edge can connect
to the spamBlocker server, until the request is dropped because the proxy times out, or until you
cancel the request.
