Hi,
i have an issue with an SBS server. The SMTP service is running in services. yet when i try to run default smtp virtual server in exchange system manager i get the following error
Event Type: Error
Event Source: SMTPSVC
Event Category: None
Event ID: 115
Date: 16/03/2009
Time: 13:35:04
User: N/A
Computer: APSERVER01
Description:
The service could not bind instance 1. The data is the error code.
For more information, see Help and Support Centre at

Data:
0000: 40 27 00 00 @'..
I have changed the port for the default SMTP and it starts fine. Yet when you change it back to 25 it no longer works.
If I telnet to it I get the following error
Invalid user.
Connection to host lost.
C:\Documents and Settings\rich>
It looks like something else has taken control of port 25, but i cant find what it is.
Thanks in advance.
