Author Determinig pickup directory on IIS6

Hi!

Im running the "built-in" SMTP server coming with IIS 6 on Win2003 Server. I want to send emails from an application on the same machine as the SMTP server. So far, no problems. I use CDOSYS and the pickup directory method.

Currently I have hard coded the pickup directory path in my test application, but in production I want to be able to re-use the same ASP pages and applications on several machines, all not having the same physical path to the pickup directory. Is there an
y way that I can query "something" in runtime to find out where the pickup directory is located or do I have to put in in the registry manually and look it up there?

Cheers,
Jonas B

The Pickup directory is stored in the IIS Metabase, not the registry.

adsutil.vbs GET smtpsvc/1/pickupdirectory

will return the pickup directory of the 1st SMTP virtual server. You can use
the ADSI IIS:// provider directory you want (check inside adsutil.vbs for
examples on how to do this).

Cheers
Ken
