Hi Steve,
I contacted our support department to check if there are any open issues
pertaining to you however from the issues we found it seems that most have been
dealt with already.
The support department manager will be emailing you directly with the issues
attached so we can confirm if there are still any open issues which we are
missing.

I agree wholeheartedly, barring your 1st sentence.
19th November since I last heard anything about the open support call I
have........................wish I could get away with that

Hi Steve,
I've always had good experiences with the GFI people. I test *all* software
before installing it on production machines, from all vendors. And for things
like Exchange, I try to keep all 3rd party software off the machine if
possible. For example, the ISA Server Message Screener or Mail Essentials work
fine on an SMTP relay, so why introduce problems to the Exchange Server if you
don't have to? Especially when it comes to spam whacking, which seems to always
be a very processor intensive operation.
HTH,
Tom

Hi John,
Good link.
Yes, GFI's uninstalls leave a great deal to be desired, i have had many
problems with there software, indeed there is still a service call open for me
regarding download security not installing correctly (tells me that the virus
definition subscription has expired, right from day one.), of which I have
heard nothing, ( apart from a mail from them asking if the call had been dealt
with ok, to which I replied in the negative,), and also with mail security,
which was resolved by a vb script supplied by GFI.
I always test GFI products thoroughly, before installing on production servers
for customer,s. Just as well.

Interesting read:
In some scenarios, the sink bindings may exist in the Exchange 2000 Server
metabase but the sink is not properly registered in the registry. When this
occurs, the SMTP protocol does not create the sink when it tries to process the
"MAIL FROM" command. As a result Exchange 2000 Server drops the connection, and
the outgoing mail is not processed.
This issue may occur when a third party program, for example GFI Mail
Essentials, is installed and then incorrectly or incompletely removed. GFI Mail
Essentials contains an add-on named Mail Security. Mail Security installs an
outbound SMTP sink that verifies the validity of the sender address. If
improperly removed, the sink may remain although the sink is no longer
correctly registered. When the "MAIL FROM" command is initiated by Exchange
2000 Server, the sink fails and Exchange 2000 Server drops the connection.
