A workaround we did for the 8.5.2 SMTP server issue

Update as of Sept 1st - A fix should be posted to Fix Central by Sept 8th, See Dan Adams' comment at the bottom of this post.....---------------------------------------------------
As you are probably aware of by now, there is an issue with the SMTP Listener task on 8.5.2 gold. IBM are currently working on a fix and this will hopefully be available soon.
If you can't downgrade back to 8.5.1 then you also have another option we just did for a STS customer. We quickly registered a new Domino server, created a Windows 2003 VM, installed Domino 8.5.1 and configured this server to be the inbound SMTP server.
Outbound SMTP does not seem to be affected (at least at this customer) but YMMV.
Once the new 8.5.1 server was up we simply pointed the customers edge Spam server to deliver SMTP mail to it. Then new SMTP server then routes (via NRPC) mail to the affected 8.5.2 server.
Viola, issue fixed. For now.....
Start to finish, 20 minutes. And no need to downgrade the server.
IBM Support technote outlining the issue is here.
