Conflict with Symantec Mail Security & Exchange 2000 Mailbox Store

[shnsx]

I have this strange problem. First of all, The software is Win2k Server sp4, Exchange 2k Enterprise sp3, symantec mail sec 4.0, and Mcafee Spamkiller 2.2

Eversince I ipgraded the Spamkiller, the symantec mail sec service and mailbox store can not be running simultaniously. Infact if the server is restarted with both of these services on outo start, the mail store will stop. If I try to start the symantec service, it will stop on its own. Any suggestions, I was tninking of doing a reload of the mail security or upgrade it to 4.6.4, but, I am trying to avoid this if I can.

Any info is greatly appreciated.

I suggent not to mix macfee with symantec. If u want to use symantec mail security and also anitspam then U can go for premium antispam from symantec. Definitely some thing macfee amd symantec mail security conflicting to make sysmtem behave abnormally. Try removing macfee spam killer and see if symantec mail security and mailbox store working properly. Or U may have to completely remove macfee as well as symantec mal secuiry. Once mailstore start working properly. Then load symantec mail security. And I advice not to use macfee spam kiler if u use symantic mail security.

I agree. Upgrade to Symantec's SMSMSE 5.0, and get the antispam add-on. Or push the filtering to an offsite service.
