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.
Steve

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.
