Author Changing queue folder on IIS5 to another drive?

Is this possible? We want to move it to the D: and I can't find any way to
do this. Moving web sites to the D:, which has a lot of space, is easy.

Why do I want to do this, you ask? It's on a box that runs as a spam filter.
Occasionally a downstream Exchange server fails and the queue folder fills
up the C partition rather rapidly. If I could move the queue folder to the
D:, I could store a ton of email.

Thanks,

Ray

Use adsutil.vbs

adsutil.vbs set smtpsvc/1/badmaildirectory x:\mailroot\badmail
adsutil.vbs set smtpsvc/1/dropdirectory x:\mailroot\drop
adsutil.vbs set smtpsvc/1/pickupdirectory x:\mailroot\pickup
adsutil.vbs set smtpsvc/1/queuedirectory x:\mailroot\queue

(create the new folders via Explorer first, then run the command(s) above to
move whichever folders you need/want to)

Cheers
Ken
