The Commission declared the Registration Statement effective on January 23, 2002. In accordance with the undertaking contained in Part II, Item 17(a)(3) of the Registration Statement pursuant to Item 512(a)(3) of Regulation S-K, ZixCorp files this post-effective amendment to remove from registration all of the shares that were registered in the Offering but remain unsold as of the date hereof. ZixCorp is deregistering these shares because its obligation to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement pursuant to the terms of its agreement with the selling shareholder has expired. Accordingly, ZixCorp files this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 to deregister the number of shares of its common stock covered by the Registration Statement that remain unsold as of the date hereof. Based upon representations made by the selling shareholder, ZixCorp believes that no shares of common stock covered by the Registration Statement remain unsold.
