I had the same problem happen to a server I maintain a couple of weeks ago. It seemed that the webmail service didn.t like running on 80 but when I set it to other ports it worked fine and dandy.

My temporary solution was to throw the webmail server on a non-standard port and in the firewall in front of the box pass anything destine for port 80 to the new port. I am in the process of installing 2006 on another PC and migrating all the users off

I checked and this update is related to KB917953.  This update installed on
June 16, 2006 for us.

Obviously, it's feasible that this update in combination with a more recent
update broke our IMail.  My only reservation is that when I attempted to
uninstall this update, it returned a warning:



For those with graphics turned off, it says "If KB917953 is removed, these
programs might not run properly. Do you want to continue?"  It lists about
15 updates that might break if this one is removed.  Right now, our web
IMail works (just on the wrong port).  I don't want to go from the frying
pan into the fire just yet and we do not have a test environment/lab for
this.

If someone else has this same problem and is able to try removal of this
update, please let me know how it turns out.  :)

You allow MS updates to be downloaded and installed automatically?  (bad
idea without testing on non-production machines first)


Yes, this was shut off yesterday after we had the problem.  It was turned on
when some worm virus hit and we didn't get the updates installed in time.

Was there a reboot just before this started occurring?

Don't know.  If there was a reboot, it was an automatic reboot.

 How about antivirus/software firewalls?  Any updates there?

None.  AV was manually updated after this issue occurred (and is always done
manually).  No software firewalls.  Only hardware firewall.
