• in the 'Exceptions' sub-section click the 'Add IP / Range' button
• in the combo box next to 'Add exception for' select 'Single IP'
• in the 'IP' textbox type: 0.0.0.0
• in the combo box next to 'Allow Delivery' select 'yes'
• do not tick the checkbox next to 'Require Authentication'
• click the 'SAVE IP / RANGE' button
