IIS & Virtual SMTP Server & SMTP Service
|

| Chris Lane 2005-12-28, 6:10 pm |
| HI,
I am trying to get SMTP working on a develpment machine with Windows XP-Pro
and IIS 5.1.
I installed the SMTP Service and it is running under the local system
account, also the SMTP Virtual Server is also running under IIS.
I followed the instructions in the following article, replacing the TO and
FROM with valid email addresses, to test if SMTP is working and the messages
keep going to queue and then to badmail after timingout.
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=297700#appliesto
It is my understanding that Exchange is not required to send email thru smtp.
What am I missing, please help.
Thank You!!!!!

| This can be many things. You should start by checking the event log.
Your ISP may also block outgoing traffic on port 25, which will cause this.
You may also want to manually check connectivity by using telnet. For
example:
telnet mail.domain.com 25

| You may also want to check the SMTP log. I think however that it is not
enabled by default. If the event log does not give any clues, please
enable SMTP logging and check the SMTP log (after trying to send again).
Enable SMTP logging is done from IIS Manager, properties for the SMTP
virtual server.

| Do I need to change any of the configuration settions for the virtual SMTP
Server on my localhost(devpc)? Do I need to set the ip address for the SMTP
Server if using localhost?

| You should telnet to the remote server, since that is what you are having
problems with (sending to a remote machine).

I think that by default, if you place the file in the pickup folder, you
do not need to change anything. But this depends. Say that your ISP blocks
port 25, and you need to use a smarthost. If so, you will need to change
the settings.
"Do I need to set the ip address for the SMTP Server if using localhost?"
Where?
