I am running Windows 2000 SP3 with Proxy 2.0. I have Exchange 5.5 SP4. I keep losing my POP3 and SMTP ports. They stop listening. Does anyone have any ideas?

Hi,

Apologies if this is completely unrelated.

I have experienced server services operating for ?a time? then just stop responding. This was caused by Norton / Symantec Personal Firewall and I had to workaround this issue by specifically opening these ports within the rule set.
