The local conferences @winserver.com are less frequently read than the SSI
Support List.  I suggest you join the general winserver support list for 
future questions:

If you are attempting to start wcSMTP.EXE on Windows 7/8/10 then you should
navigate to the Wildat! root directory.  Right Click on the wcSMTP.EXE and
Set it to RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR. 

See how you then go starting it at the CLI

    wcsmtp /router
    wcsmtp /receiver
    wcsmtp /sender

or

    wcsmtp

if you do not wish to use load balancing roles.


If it still fails to start make sure you do NOT have any other SMTP Server
service already running on port 25.  At the CLI type:

    telnet localhost 25

And see if you get a connect and welcome banner.

The wcSTART event signals are:

    Wildcat.SmtpUpEvent.Router
    Wildcat.SmtpUpEvent.Receiver
    Wildcat.SmtpUpEvent.Sender

In summary the most common problems are UAC permissions and/or other SMTP
software installed by default already running.
