I encountered this once before but I never found out what was causing it. One thing I did was to set up a scheduled task to restart IIS in the middle of the night every night, including weekends. That seemed to clear things up but it's up to you :-) -----Original Message----- From: Jan Mt.

Small office. Since Sunday last, some of our Exchange services, including WWW publishing have been shutting themselves off. The services that go down are: MS Exchange IMAP4, MSExchange Pop3, MS Exchange Routing Engine, Simple Mail Transport Protocol, World Wide Web Publishing Service. Has anyone seen this before? Any thoughts on what might be causing it? Anything to do with Symantec? Thanks.
