Monitor Poisoned Count: '0'
Monitor First Alert Observed Time:
It happens if "Client Frontend <server>" receive connector does not have (All Available IPv4) in the "Network adapter bindings" instead it is set as server local IP address.
So you can change it to (All Available IPv4) on port 587 then you should be able to telnet 127.0.0.1 on 587 locally on the server.
