I am most frustrated with this, and would appreciate any help!

I had installed IIS with SMTP service on a Windows XP Pro SP2 box. A
test email dropped into pickup transmitted fine. I then created a
batch file to move emails from a network share to the pickup directory
on a regular basis. This worked fine too.

I rebooted the server. Suddenly it no longer works fine. Every single
email I tried to send wound up in Badmail, with a .bdr file with error
0xC00402CE. The event viewer tells me that "Message delivery to the
remote domain failed for the following reason: The connection was
dropped by the remote host.".

Googling mostly reveals other people who have never solved this
problem, and endless repetitions of "are you sure IUSR has access
rights?". So I tried giving 'everyone' full control of the folder -
still no dice.

I try uninstalling and reinstalling IIS. Still no love.

Anyone have a clue???

Interesting update:
I paralleled the installation on another machine. This machine will
deliver text files generated on that machine ok, but will not deliver
files moved over from a network share...

Q: why are you 'moving' files into the pickup directory? Though the
folder may have the 'right' permissions, do the files? (All this is
unimportant if you use SMTP to do the work instead of a batch...)

I'm moving files to the pickup directory from an UNIX share where some
processing deposits them.

The folder has permissions set to propogate to all children.
Interestingly, if I copy the file from the network share and explicitly
set it's permissions, it STILL fails & winds up in badmail. Natively
generated files work OK. And I have suddenly just figured it out, I
think. UNIX files will use just a CR at the end of each line, whereas
DOS files use CRLF. And since I use win32pad instead of notepad, which
switches automatically to whatever the terminator character is, I would
never see that. Yup, opening it in notepad shows that the line end
char is what differs between the files. Argh.

I'm gonna leave this posting here, hopefully others will stumble across
it in the sea of "I dunnos" and "have you checked your file
permissions?" that Google returns...
