I guess he got it fixed. He was running on Exchange 2000 SP2. He applied SP3.

Another emergency happened though - after SP3 his Information Store service would not 
start due to service specific error 0.

He then told me that before applying SP3 he had backed up the whole server, INCLUDING 
the M: drive.  >:0

I told him to stop all remaining Exchange services, rename the Exchange BIN directory 
and run setup /disasterrecovery

He is reporting now that everything is working after that.

This time I am helping a friend of mine. His Exchange 2000 server has been
running fine until recently. Now he can'e receive mail from most places.

He could not receive mail from my Exchange server for example. Or from
Yahoo, AOL, etc. 

I narrowed it down to his virtual SMTP server. It does not like when someone
says EHLO to it and immediately drops connection.

When I say HELO, everything works fine --
