Can't tell from your description if you're looking for it correctly. Go to the Properties of "Default SMTP Virtual Server" On the General tab click the Advanced button. Click Edit.

The rest of the settings are under Message Delivery. -----Original Message----- From: bgardner@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bgardner@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, February 08, 2006 6:21 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] Exchange SP2 Intilligent Mail Filter I have updgraded my server 2003 box with exchange to exchange sp2. after the intall I do not have the options under exchange systems manager, servers system protocols SMTP intelligent mail server I only default server. any ideas on what is wrong
