| Hi Folks;
I have implemented SMTP on IIS 5.0 and my understanding is that it's primary
purpose is as a very basic mail server.
As far as I know, it's designed to send mail from things like websites and
only receive mail and drop it into the \Drop
directory. As such, it's not accessible by email clients like Outlook
Express for _receiving_ mail.
Let me know if I'm wrong on this :-)
The problem I seem to have is that no incoming email is being put in the
\Drop directory.
As well, the SMTP configuration is set up to send delivery notifications to
my HotMail address
but what happens is that they are put in the junk bin because the sending
address is postmaster@ns1
To my understanding they should be showing up as postmaster@mydomain.com
Anyway, the long and short is that incoming mail is not accepted or
delivered into the \Drop folder
and NDR reports and the like are going out as postmaster@hostname
I've been wondering if it might be a DNS issue. I run my own DNS server and
the only mail record is;
(same as parent folder) MX [10] ns1.askmarvin.ca
I must be doing something wrong and I'm quite certain it must be a
configuration issue. Outgoing mail works.
Can anyone help?
