Well as I said, i have no idea what its behavior is because I do not use
it.

In a large environment, why are you using the SMTP security server?

I have asked this question on this list a number of times and noone has
ever given me a good reason for running any of CheckPoints security
servers. Giving someone an open port to my firewall with a daemon that is
actually listening just strikes me as ludicrous.
