Message screener problem Hi Joseph, The W3SVC is definitely not required for the SMTP Message screener to work properly. The complete procedures on how to make it work on the ISA box on a Win2003 machine are in the ISA 2000/Exchange Kit on the ISAserver.org site.

Message screener problem http://www.ISAserver.org Hi there, I had to disable socket pooling on my w2k box when I installed the message screener. It seems that on the ISA box with the message screener installed it required iis to be installed. So, I disabled socket pooling on both the w3svc1 and smtpsvc and all worked as planned. I actually forward that out to an smtp relay machine before it gets into my exchange machine.

Message screener problem http://www.ISAserver.org Hi Jim... I tried the regserve patch information on ISA 2000 (W2k3 server) that you sent It did not resolve the problem... switched the SMTP relay server back to the ISA server... No event log problems ... but the message screener is not filtering attachements or word lists This is a new instalation W2k3, Intergrated mode and "Full Installation" SP1, w2k3 updates, Featurepack 1 then SP2 Is that the correct order of applying patches/updates? Mail, WEB and CITRIX servers are published and working, Web site filtering all working ... Only the message screener is the problem. It must be a bug or problem with the SMTP filter.. On the SMTP server publishing rules properties it is "greyed out with a tick" after enabling the SMTP filter.. I have read the documentation for smtp relay/mesage screener on ISA and on another server but can't get it to work... any suggstions for either configuration? Thanks for any help recieved, and has the SMTP filter import/export tool been created?
