Hi,
Are you sure that there wasnt anything wrong with your ISP when the problem
occurred.
As far as I know, you are the 1st user in the newsgroups complaining that
KB842773 is affecting their email.
I suggest that you try to install KB842773 again and see if the problem
happens again. If it still affects, I suggest that you open a case with
Microsoft Product Support and they will be able to troubleshoot the problem.
