Update for Windows Small Business Server 2003: KB 835734
· Description: There is a problem with how the POP3 connector
processes certain messages downloaded from a POP3 server. This problem could
result in the POP3 connector accidentally re-sending certain messages to
recipients who are not part of the SBS server e-mail domain. This may happen
only in the cases where the POP3 connector is used to download mail from an
external POP account. Customers using Exchange to host their mail internally
will not experience this problem. This update resolves this issue. All SBS
customers are encouraged to install this update.

How do I configuring WSUS?
As some of you have seen, SBS is now a category in WSUS Admin. This
category only covers SBS specific fixes. You will need to select the other
available applications that are on your SBS server so that the updates for
those applications will also be downloaded.
Upcoming Updates:

an issue that was found were reinstalling Windows SharePoint Services will
randomly delete a document library. This will only be applied to SBS SP1
Slipstream installations, not web downloads.
