IIS shutdown when I try to send email using localhost

I have a test program to send email using vb.net system.net.mail namespace.
When I try to send out an email using localhost as the virtual smtp server
the message stays stuck in the queue and moreover I now notice that
immediately thereafter I get an error message saying IIS has had to shutdown
and asking to send a message to microsoft. If I go into debug I see that it
occurs in Inetinfo.exe and it gives me Unhandled exception at 0x014532e3 in
inetinfo.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation writing location 0x00000014.
which it seems causes the shutdown of IIS.

Can anyone help me with resolving this?
Thanks for any help
Bob
