Tomislav,

You seem to be suggesting that the problem is not with the filter itself but
that the filter is not getting applied after a server restart.
Questions:
Do the other filters get applied after the server restart? Are these filters
delivered via a Local IPSec Policy or an IPSec Policy stored in the AD?
Have you checked IPSec Monitor to see if the SMTP filters show up under your
Main Mode Generic and Specific filter lists after a reboot.
If instead of un-assigning and re-assinging the policy you stop and start
policy agent do the SMTP filters work?
