Hi Panos83,

if the proposed KB article didn't help and, as you said, is really urgent, open a support case ASAP.

Could be wrong

Hi,

I could be wrong here but I think that as long as you are paying the license subscription for the Symantec Mail Security product, you should be entitled to support.
Like I said, I could be wrong but you should definitely give the support line or customer care a call to be sure.
