LuLu asking if exchangesyncd should be allowed to connect

[PencilNotPen]

Is exchangesyncd a system process, or something third-party to be wary of? If it is a system process, why is LuLu asking me to approve it when I have "Allow Apple Programs" enabled in settings? LuLu has never asked me to approve a system process before with this setting enabled, but exchangesyncd has now requested approval twice in two days. What has changed, and if exchangesyncd is not Apple-related, what is it and should it be approved?

Many thanks!

I received the same request for approval of 'exchangesyncd'. At first, I Denied it, but after reading PencilNotPen's comment from Mar 30, I opened Lulu and searched 'exch'. It showed one process with two rules, the approved one built into the Apple-approved list of rules, and my denial. I removed my denial, but I do wonder two things:

1. Why is Lulu asking what to do if there's already a rule Allowing the process?
2. Why does that request show that the process is NOT SIGNED. Isn't it signed by Apple?
3. If the "new" process is a malicious imitation of Apple's (therefore not signed), why did my Deny rule appear under the Apple process in Lulu (IOW Lulu listed one process containing 'exch' and two rules—Allow from Apple built-in rules and Deny from me).
