I've got uTorrent v1.6.1 and zone alram detetced it trying to send SMTP mail to the following IP 195.148.79.89
The previous version of uTorrent I had also did the same. I've set zone alram to deny it always. I also used Neotrace to track down the IP and it's come up with :-

Neotrace said:
Name: vekkulit.tontut.fi
IP Address: 195.148.79.89
Location: Tampere (61.500N, 23.750E)
Network: TOAS-NET

Registrant contact information is not available.

So anyone know why a torrent program would need to send mail annonomously? Don't a lot of trojans log keystrokes then mail them out? I've scanned it for virus's, as I did the previous version, and it's come up clean.

bt.no_connect_to_services - Set to true will not connect to any ports that confuse firewalls

Also you you dont have it set up to use port 25 do you ?

Already set to true and I downloaded from the offical uTorrent site. As for port settings on 'port used for incoming connections' it's set to 40931.
