Hi!, Been following this thread and am wondering if I have a server that only offers email services, what services can be disabled so one is not left "wide open"?

If the messenger service is running that means Netbios is also running. If this machine is directly connected with no firewall you need to turn off Netbios and SNMP! You are leaving yourself wide open.
