"Deny" Was Clicked

eMails are popping in and are going out as desired.

outlook.com is a Microsoft domain.

I would imagine it is trying to validate the settings so that if Microsoft decides to change them, it will auto-update and you won't go offline. Since it still works, there likely wasn't a change.

Firewall doing what it's best at, wasting your time.
