| Hi All,
After spending many hairpulling hours blaming everything from my ISP to MS,
unchecking a single checkbox fixed my mail sending issue. I basically set up
the PWS (IIS5 version) on a Win2KPro workstation. Then found that all mail
went to the BAD folder (or the DROP folder - depending on settings) no
matter what the address was with no error numbers, just that it only said
'Delivery to the following recipients failed.' which left no clue as to why
it actually failed. The event log had no messages regarding failure either.
Anyway, the solution was extremely simple:
In the 'Domains' branch of 'Default SMTP Virtual Server', right click your
default domain and select 'properties'.
You will find a checkbox that says 'Enable drop directory quota'.
Un-check that box and click OK.
Mail should now be sent just fine.
I have no idea what the 'drop directory quota' is supposed to be and there
is nothing in the Help that indicates what this means.
By semantics, it seems like it may mean the amount of email messages that
fill up a "queue" before sending the out, but I am not sure.
Regardless, this little checkbox did the trick and now I can send email to
my heart's content!
I hope this helps anyone out there who struggled as I have to get SMTP mail
to work in PWS on W2KPro!
Dave
