 I am using Tor Browser on Windows. When I watch TCP ports opened by
 tor.exe I see 3 remote connections. One to remote host shown in Vidalia as
 first relay, it's port is 8080. Two other connections are to other hosts
 with remote ports 9001 and 110 (POP protocol port).

 DNS shows POP connection from tor.exe goes to email service. Is it normal?
