Hi Sandy and Volz
I'm having exactly the same problem mentioned and more: after applying the hotfix I can’t manage the list of computers that may connect and relay through the default “SMTP Virtual Serverâ€, because after doing the changes to the list of IP and pressing “Applyâ€, I receive an “Unspecified Error†message box. From what I’ve been investigating, it seems that the issue is related to a new version of the “adsiis.dll†located in “C:\WINDOWS\system32\inetsrvâ€, which is installed by the KB946517 that Volz mentioned. I installed that particular HotFix following the instructions mentioned in the article http://blogs.technet.com/apurdon/archive/2008/01/31/is-your-sharepoint-server-reporting-event-ids-7076-6398-6482.aspx, because my Intranet box (with MOSS 2007) was writing several events related to “Attempted to read or write protected memory†and this HotFix was supposed to fix it (and it did it, but know I see it messed up with the SMTP) The SMTP Virtual server is working fine for now, but I wanted to change some properties as a part of a security policy and I don’t know how. Any advice would be appreciated, Rummy. [quoted text, click to view] "Volz Wong" wrote:

No, I haven't because that will probably solve this particular error, but
it'll bring back the issue that causes that the event log of my server fills up with "Attempted to read or write protected memory" events. What I need to find out is if MS knows about this buggy hotfix that they post and if there's some workaround. Gracias Sandford :) [quoted text, click to view] "Sanford Whiteman" wrote:

I am having same issue. It broke my ability to send alerts in SMTP cause it
changed config settings in SMTP and won't allow me to change back. Anyway, there is a post on this on google (http://blogs.msdn.com/vijaysk/archive/2008/04/14/issue-smtp-configuration-unspecified-error.aspx) and it seems that there is a HOTFIX "coming soon" for this issue. I hope real soon, like days not months. If anyone sees the hotfix posted on MSDN, please reply to this message so I can find out about it, cuase desperately need it to patch my server. From article: The problem is likely to occur when you have the HOTFIX 946517 on the server. The HOTFIX 946517 updates the Adsiis.dll to fix a thread contention issue seen when you run MOSS 2007 Timer Service. Currently if you are running SMTP on a server with MOSS 2007 you will have to uninstall the HOTFIX 946517 to get your SMTP working. Note that the SMTP service it self is not affected by this HOTFIX and keeps running. But you cannot make changes like Relay restrictions. A fix for this problem will be made available shortly in the form of a HOTFIX and published as KB 950426 [quoted text, click to view] "Rummy Beer" wrote:

Everyone who is having this issue. This HOTFIX is not yet posted on the web.
But in frustration, I called Microsoft support. Told then I needed a HOTFIX for KB 950426 and they had it available! They emailed me the HOTFIX. Its a pain to have to call, but if you ask for KB Article Number(s): 950426 they will have it. They will ask for your server OS, x64 or x84, etc and they should be able to package it for you and you can get from website. I called the MS 1-800 number available on Support site.

Just called for the Hotfix and was told Microsoft has pulled this Hotfix as
it was causing other problems. They would not provide it to me even after explaining I was stuck. Thanks Microsoft! [quoted text, click to view] "mlopong" wrote:

Our TAM from Microsoft told us that he talked to Vijayshinva Karnure, the
engineer that is working with this hotfix and he told him a similar version of the problem. So there’s nothing much to than just wait for the hotfix to be publish and solve this damn problem once and for all. For now, I decided to install de SMTP service in other server and keep going on with my live :( [quoted text, click to view] "B&C Stumped" wrote:
