I also have here a problem regarding the SMTP Virtual Server (works OK together on the same machine until a restart of ISA Server. After that nothing will ever work. I heve to reinstall the ISA Server). I think that is best to use a SMTP Virtual Server on another PC behind the ISA Server and publish this SMTP Virtual Server.

We used smtp vs on the ISA server as recommended in the book (the same one as on this site). We installed everything according to the book. External emails and then got delivered. But this only happens for some random time and then stops. We also use the VPN option to connect a remote option, which by the way works 100%. Now the only way we could get external mail to come in again was to restart the ISA server. Mail then got delivered for some time (normally about 1-2 hours) then stoped. We then removed the local smtp vs on the ISA server. Thus no content checking is taking place (we use an external lab to check content and viruses anyway) and smtp packets get forwarded straight to the exchange server. Now it has been working for 2 days, fingers crossed!!! Any ideas why this happend? ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this ISAserver.org Discussion List as: Gabi.Poturlu@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send a blank email to $subst('Email.Unsub') ########################################### This message has been scanned by F-Secure Anti-Virus for Microsoft Exchange.
