The Backup Exec Server service (beserver.exe) stops when SMTP notification is attempted.
Details:
With a recipient configured for SMTP notification within Backup Exec for Windows Servers, testing or using job/alert notification may cause the Backup Exec Server service (beserver.exe) to stop. The crash will be reported in libvxsmtpmail3i.dl.
Workaround:
Instead of using SMTP notification, use MAPI (Exchange) or VIM (Lotus) for email.
