I have Wingate 5.0.10 running on Windows 2000 Server w/Sp4 using WGIC for clients, ENS for firewall services and SMTP Server as a gateway for an Exchange 2000 Server running on another Windows 2000 Server system also W/SP4.
The Wingate server occasionally stops responding to all requests and I have to restart it. I have automated the restart using a monitoring program which checks for internet connectivity through Wingate and will restart wingate using wingate.exe -stop and -start switches.
After the restart everything works fine except for the SMTP Server. It rejects all mail and I get a message 'Error 550: Unable to relay for this recepient' for all messages i try to send through the Exchange server or directly to the SMTP server in Wingate.
I have had this problem from version 5.01 and up to the current version 5.0.10. I have tried stopping and starting the SMTP server in wingate but the only things that seems to work is to restart the server where wingate is installed. i need a solution which does not require me to restart my internet access server everytime the wingate service stops.
