when i start the E-Mailrelay application it shows socket binding error: address already in use. i tried restarting several times but still the same, no new apps are installed, please help.
Hi support, I have followed your steps to check the services and found that the emailrelay service is running but the emailrelay software is still giving errors and our smtp emails are not being sent using the emailrelay software. you may refer to the attached screenshot.
Your screenshots confirm that emailrelay is running as a service on port 25. But only one program can listen on port 25, so when you try to start emailrelay from the Start menu (for example) it will fail with the "cannot bind" error box. That is expected behaviour.
If you stop the service you should find that it will work successfully from the Start menu and you will see an icon appear in the system tray (notification area).
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
It might be because you have emailrelay already running as a service or as a system tray icon (now also known as the "notifcation area"):
Search for "Services" to run the service tool, then look down the list of services for "E-MailRelay" and check its status.
Right click the up arrow or "^" near the right hand side of the Windows task bar to see what's running in the system tray.
You can also try running "netstat -nab -p tcp" from an administrator command prompt, or try connecting to port 25 using telnet.

Hi Support, you can end this ticket now.
Thank you.
