Services are programs that perform low-level functions to support other programs on the system. From the Service Control page, you can view the status of Secure Email Gateway system services, and stop, start or restart the ones under manual control.
It may be useful to temporarily stop or to restart some services when housekeeping or troubleshooting.
For example, if your inbound mail server is disabled you may wish to stop the SMTP Inbound Transport service until the problem is rectified.
