| I'm trying to get the SMTP server running on Windows 2003 Server. The O/S
is completly patched. I have the following text file:
v- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -v
Date: Sat, 30 Sep 2006 14:32
From: support@mydomain.com
Subject: Statement from LAKEWOOD VIEW TWNHOME ASSN
To: bill@mydomain.com
Hello:
This is a test message.
^- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -^
The text file is dropped in the "C:\inetpub\mailroot\Pickup" sub-directory
and immediately is reflected in the "BadMail" sub-directory along with the
".BDP" and ".BDR" files. The ".BDR" file looks like:
v- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -v
Unable to deliver this message because the follow error was encountered:
"Error is processing file in pickup directory.".
The specific error code was 0xC00402CE.
^- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -^
My first step was to see if the SMTP server worked. So, I followed the
instructions in the following link:

I've added "everyone" to the security for "C:\inetpub\mailroot", giving them
full control and propagated these settings to all child objects.
I tried the same thing on my Windows XP Pro settings for IIS and the same
thing happens. About 8 months ago, as I was testing some dbms software
doing email billings, this seemed to work fine writing email text files to
"C:\inetpub\mailroot\Pickup" and I haven't messed with it since. Now it
doesn't work. I'm guessing something occured during one of the Windows
updates that has locked this down.
In IIS I've set relay restrictions to "All except the list below" and have
assigned noone to the "...list below". The "Allow all computers which
successfully authenticate to relay, regardless of the list above" checkbox
is checked. Connection control is set to "all except the list below" and,
again, noone is assigned to the "...list below".
I've contacted several MSCEs and they can't figure this out either. Can
anyone help me figure out how to make the SMTP server work?
Thanks,
Bill

| Hi,
You should change your relay settings - you are currently allowing all
machines to relay. Instead only authorised machines should be allowed to
relay.
For messages deposited into the pickup folder, relay settings aren't
enforced/considered, so you should not need to open up the relay settings.
For your test messages - what domain name are you using in the From: field?
It needs to be a domain name resolvable by the SMTP server.
Cheers

I opened the relay settings in an attempt to make sure relaying wasn't the
problem. You're right, of course, about closing down this opening. I've
changed relaying to allow it only from 192.168.1.0 addresses with a standard
subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.
The domain I'm using in the "FROM:" field is my company domain. There is no
domain defined on the SMTP server. Our company domain is resolvable on
other servers by other kinds of software. For instance, we use it in QMAIL
and SENDMAIL on several Linux servers. However, this had to be configured.
I used SMTPDiag and the results were:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
D:\SmtpDiag>smtpdiag.exe "Support at our Company domain" "Me at our Company
domain"

Our company domain isn't in the "C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts" file
on the SMTP server either.
I tried to assign our company domain to the SMTP server by opening the IIS
snap-in then setting the default SMTP server "Properties > Delivery >
Advanced > Fully-qualified domain name" to our company domain.
How does one configure this SMTP server, which is on our network, to send
out emails deposited into the pickup folder with our company domain in the
"FROM:" field? I've searched all over the internet and can't find out.
Thanks,
Bill

OK - just wanted to check you weren't using "domain.com" (unless you have
configured your DNS servers to resolve domain.com, and your SMTP server is
configured to use your internal DNS servers)
>Our company domain is resolvable on other servers by other kinds of

That is irrelevant. IIS SMTP server will not send mail out if it can't
resolve the From: domain in the DNS. So you need to check whether From:
domain is resolvable by the IIS box.
Also, verify that there are no file system filters (e.g. antivirus software,
imaging softare - Ghost/Acronis) configured to scan this pickup directory.
Lastly - do you have Exchange installed on this machine, or is it IIS SMTP
only?
Thanks
Cheers

I fixed it! I scrounged around the internet for awhile and found someone
who had moved emails from a Linux box, which introduced a problem with the
LineEnd character(s).
I looked at our billing software and noticed there was a configuration for
LineEnd characters. I changed it from CRLF$ to LF$ and everything works as
it's supposed to.
How'd I figure that one out?
Thanks again,
Bill
P.S. I was configuring an IIS SMTP server.
