My Internet Mail Service on Exchange Server 5.5 is not running. When I try to start it manually I get a 2140 Error which relates to an internal NT error. I have checked the event log which reports Event IDs 4007 and 4020. Technet relates these errors to the service not binding to port25 of the proxy server.
I have followed all resolutions within Technet relating to this but still have the same 2140 error.

Does anyone know how I can check to see what is running on port 25 if the service cannot bind to it?

All ideas would be appreciated!

You can use the TCPView utility, which you can download from www.sysinternals.com. There is a free version available to show the used TCP port on a system. There is also an other tool called TDImon, which shows you the process and the associated TCPports.

Hope this helps

Hi;
I hope you are not running NT SP5 as it has some problems with Proxy.
Install NT SP6a then remove internet mail service and install it again then re-apply Excange SP3
Hope this solve the problem

If your running Internet Information Server with the SMTP component installed, it holds port 25 open. Disable this service and try starting...also if you are running the Microsoft Winsock Proxy client on this machine, you might need to remove the client and reinstall the client.

Hope this helps.
