Yes, the Microsoft Exchange pop service has been set to automatic startup.
The service starts in the services section of W2K3. But shows stopped in the
Exchange Systems Manager. And when you try to start it in the Microsoft
Systems Manager, it generates a event log message, that port 110 is already
in use.... Of course it is by exchange. Getting weirder as we go, netstat -a
does not show port 110 in use at all and I can not telnet to the port.
Thanks,
John
