      So i discover the problem by myself in line 425 with: 
      ee /usr/pbi/snort-i386/etc/snort/snort_37769_xl0/rules/snort.rules

      
      alert tcp $HOME_NET any -> $EXTERNAL_NET [80,20,25,143,110] (msg:"SENSITIVE-DATA Credit Card Numbers"; metadata:s
      
      

      So in respective menu: Snort –> Snort interfaces --> Edit Snort interface mapping --> Wan preprocs

      I tick Enable  "Sensitive data searches for credit card numbers, Social Security numbers and e-mail addresses in data.
      Note: To enable this preprocessor, you must select the Snort VRT rules on the Global Settings tab."

      And now everything is fine snort running fine !
