I had the exact same thing happen some time ago when I applied SP3 to one
of my remote office Exchange Servers. I could not figure it out for the
life of me, and could not get any help from MS on it. What was most strange is that the IP restrictions were in the config, but anyone could
still relay mail through. I just figured I was temporarily insane, which
these days is pretty common. I had to put the Exchange Server one hop in,
and use a mail gateway to restrict my traffic. Since that was really the
best way to do it anyway, I pretty much forgot about the issue until I read
your post. I'll check out the rollup patch (which is not on that machine
now) and see what happens.
