The release notes state that IMF V1 must be removed. I haven't run the lab experiment to see what happens if you don't, but I thought there was supposed to be a warning of some kind. And installing IMF V1 after SP2 is probably as bad or worse than not removing IMF V1 before SP2. The IMF settings stuff appears under Global Settings - Message Delivery (Properties). Then the filtering must be enabled under SMTP Virtual Server - General Tab - Advanced - Edit. If you don't have the above IMF stuff after doing what you say you did - I'd say you're going to be restoring the backup you made before installing SP2.

I previously had IMF version one installed, but got no warning to remove it. After the installation of service pack 2 I tried the following Reinstall IMF 1 Uninstall IMF 1 Reinstall SP2 still no IMP or at least under SMTP services there is no IMF icon anyone have any ideas. I there a separate install for IMF Lloyd
