There have been issues reported issues with SEP 11MR4 MP1 and prior. The issue definately affects SBS2008 (64 bit) when you deploy Network Threat Protection.
Network Threat Protection is the firewall part of the Symantec suite. I always deploy with the Microsft Windows firewall anyway because of the benefits of configuration via group policy so I have never seen the issue.
SEP 11 MR4 MP2 became available in North America on May 19, 2009.

The default configuration of SBS 2008, will by default reject email based on the SCL rating of a particular email.
One option is to turn Content Filtering Off and use a cloud based email filtering engine.
Another option is to tune the Content Filter settings so that it will throw potential junk email into a Junk Mail folder in Outlook. You can still reject the more obvious Junk Mail. There is also a SBS Blog post on this topic. If you are like me though, you want to know what (if any) mail is rejected. Exchange 2007 has a log file that logs what the Content Filter does with a mail message (not limited to the content filter).
You can peruse the log file located at %programfiles%\Microsoft\Exchange Server\TransportRoles\Logs\AgentLog to see why a message was rejected.
Kudos to the Microsoft Managed Newsgroup team for pointing this out. Now it would be cool to find the time to write a custom alert for this one.

Not sure why Microsoft was unable not fix the 10016 errors in the event log as we saw this very early in the beta.
To fix this perform the following steps (It’s a DCom issue):
- Administrative Tools –> Component Services
- Expand Component Services –> Computers –> My Computer –> DCOM Config
- Find the IIS WAMREG Admin Service
- Right click –> Properties –> Security tab
- Launch and Activation Permissions –> Edit
- Add the Network Service user
- Add Local Activation rights
- OK
- OK
- Close Component Services
- Reboot Server
