Recently, my server has been infected with Bugbear and as result, I think, the IMS service of the Msexchange stopped sending e-mails however it continues to receive. The server has NT4 SVR with SP6a and Exchange 5.5 with SP3. Virus protection has been accomplished using McAfee with recent updates. And the IE5.5 was updated with SP2.
Do you think that I should remove Exchange and reinstall it again?
What do you suggest?

Thanks

I could find nothing on Sophos.com. Although, they are saying that NT is not affected by Bugbear my server was infected and my exchange IMS service is damaged.
IT is too early to have cases like this on the internet. I am not the only one, there isanother case which is of the same type.
Thanks anyway.

Hello there...
Did you remove the virus?, If you are not sure go to http:\\www.pspl.com download Protector Plus, install it, run it, clean the computer.
Once it is clean then reboot and check if all the services are running. I suggest after that, reinstall the latest SP on your machine and re-apply SP3 on your Exchange. If it doesn't help e-mail me back and we will figure it out...
Good luck,
