I performed the following suggested actions with results shown:

1. Have you looked in the ZA logs, if it is blocking traffic it will log
it. <<Checked logs and blocking is occurring>>

2. How is your DNS configured, does the connection have DNS servers
config'd or automatic discovery? <<Configured>>

3. Do an ipconfig /all to see your DNS settings, try pinging the DNS
server. <<Successful>>

4. Can you ping or tracert then mail or news servers, do they resolve to
an ip address? <<Traces to the expected source, i.e. my ISP>>
