                          DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES



         Zix Corporation (formerly ZixIt Corporation), a Texas corporation
("ZixCorp"), filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-75708)
(the "Registration Statement") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") on December 21, 2001, registering 296,533 shares of ZixCorp's
common stock, par value $.01 per share, to be offered from time-to-time by the
selling shareholder named therein (the "Offering"). 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.

and Rule 478(a)(4) thereunder, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable
grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-3
and has duly caused this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration
Statement on Form S-3 to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto
duly authorized, in the City of Dallas, State of Texas, on September 13, 2002.
