Server keep sending e-mail
|

| There's a part in my program code that iterate an array list, and then send
an e-mail for each item in the list. I think I made a mistake in the codes
previously or what, it just keep sending e-mail non-stop. So I stopped
running the program, expecting things will be normal again. But I discovered
that the server still keep sending out e-mail when I have already stop the
program. This has already persisted for 4 days, and today morning, I saw 6000
emails in my mailbox.
I removed IIS, and everything resumed to normal. I installed IIS again, the
server started sending e-mails again. What should I do?

| Is this program a web program or something else. You say you removed IIS and
the problem went away?
I assume you are using CDO NTS since after the removal of IIS it stopped. In
that case when you removed IIS you also removed the IIS SMTP Server. This is
what actually picks up the request from the pickup folder and delivers it.
After installing IIS the email returned which means one of two things.
There was heaps of email sitting in the folder that the IIS SMTP server is
looking for and it did what it is designed to and delivered it or you
program is still running.
For a start stop the IIS SMTP Server
Either go to the IIS Management control
open control panel
select administrative tools
open Internet Services Manager
Open the tree and find the "Default SMTP Virtual Server"
right click and select stop
or
Open control panel (go to classic view if needed)
goto Administrative Tools
Select Services
Find the "Simple Mail Transfer Protocol" and set it to be disabled via the
properties. Also stop the service that will then stop the email being sent
if you are using CDONTS
If you are stuck in a loop your app could sent 100,000 messages so check the
IIS SMTP folder
by default under c:\inetpub\mailroot
Delete the messages, and then re-enable the SMTP Server
But make sure your app code has been fixed.

| Hi Thanks. It's a web application (asp.net).
There are 7 folders in the c:\inetpub\mailroot directory, Badmail, Drop,
Mailbox, Pickup, Queue, Route, and SortTemp. Which folder should I empt? Or
do I delete all the folders?
Thank you.

| After I removed and installed IIS, I tried to use Visual Studio .NET 2003 to
open my web application, but it returns me an error message saying that,
"Visual Studio .Net has detected that the specified web server is not running
ASP.NET version 1.1. You will be unable to run ASP.Net applications or
services." What can I do?

| If you open Internet Services Manager, right click on the default web site
and select the home directory tab.
Click the button titled "Configuration"
Have a look at the .aspx extension
does it point to v1.1.4322 version of the framework?
If it points to v1.0.3705 then you need to run the command
"aspnet_regiis.exe"
The following command installs the ASP.NET version associated with the tool
and updates the script maps of all existing ASP.NET applications. Note that
only applications that are currently mapped to an earlier version of ASP.NET
are affected.
Aspnet_regiis -i

| I couldn't find a .aspx extension. And how do I run the command
"aspnet_regiis.exe"? Thank you.

| Thank you. I've figured out how to run the command "aspnet_regiis.exe", to
install it. Thank you very much.
