maybe, but,
do we always have to write a post scriptum in every mail sayng that?
in this case please ask the listowner to add it below every mail.....

there has been a precise question "which port is used for windows
messaging popup, how do i stop it?" and a precise answer "port 139,

btw icf is not that bad for a product embedded in a microshaft os
stateful
blocks everything by default
so probably Neil's  suggestion also answers your concerns.
