Hi

I have IIS 6.0 with SMTP server installed in my Windows2003 Server
enterprise edition.
>From my application I need to send notification mails.

I have configured the SMTP virtual server.When I tested manually by
putting a txt file in PickupFolder,the mails moves to Queue folder and
it put a message in the EventViewer "Message delivery to the host
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx failed."

I had a feeling that I have missed some prerequistes.

What are the Prerequisites required for IIS SMTP Server to send
mails?,like do I need to configure any other services.

Thanks in advance

Alex

The txt file would need to conform to the rules for the format of a SMTP
message. But why do you want to re-invent the wheel? Just use the CDONT or
CDOSYS COM objects built in to the server! How is your application written?
If it is in VB then it is a simple matter to instantiate the CDOxxx object,
set some properties (To, From, Subject, Body, etc.) and call the Send
method. Done!
