Gal,

   I ran through some testing on my server and wasn't able to repro it with
SP6a, however I am unsure the precise dll(s) that we need to confirm are at
which modified date/version in order to 100% confirm the bug is not
present. I guess the main thing is that you can access the SMTP service
now.

   Are you able to successfully add users to the 'operators' tab on the
original server OK?

   Regards,
   -->Karl

| Thanks Karl,
| I appreciate your help. I ended up re-installing SMTP
| service and it fixed the metabase. Hovewer, I was able to
| repeat that error on a different IIS 4 server and I
| thought I had all the latest Sps and fixes. Hm. Anyhow,
| thanks for Help !
