Hi All,
I have a bit of a complex problem that I will explain here.  I have an
ASP.NET application, an SMTP virtual server and IIS 6.0 all running on one
server and exchange 2000 running on another.  Up until about 2 months ago
everything was working fine.

While I was away a service tech from our ISP came in and removed the SMTP
connector on our exchange server and played around with our DNS settings to
get mail delivered because they changed their email system.  Ever since this
was done the asp.net application (which is not used all that often) has not
been sending emails anymore.  I looked at the queue on the iis server and it
has all the messages that it could not send sitting there waiting for a
connection to be made.

My question is how do I get the SMTP Virtual server to deliver messages
again? does it need to use the exchange server or can it deliver them
directly via dns?

The emails are only sent locally to our domain and not anywhere else.

Any help or KB links to help would be awesome thanks

Hello,

It is not clear to me if you use the SMTP server to deliver emails directly,
or if the Exchange server is involved (SMTP can deliver directly, but
because of the problem with spam nowadays, you usually need a "real" email
server to deliver emails to not have your emails classified as spam by the
remote host).

But no matter how you do, there should be information about the problem
logged in the Event Log. So please check the Event Log, and report back here
if you cannot solve it yourself.

Start->Run, eventvwr.msc

Thanks for all of the replies Kristofer. The program here
wants to use smtp for the reporting service for sql. I
have not enabled the email services from add/remove
programs. Just have been working with smtp that loads with
IIS. WE only need smtp for this function. WE are a company
that is located in one of our clients offices. We have our
own seperate t1 line with one a web server on it. (Not the
server I have the issue witth.) But this server is running
imail 7. And he wants to be able to use the smtp server to
send to our clients domain email accounts as well as ours
which I believe is hosted on anyname.net or something like
that. Im not sure I dont really know much about this web
stuff. Anyways the smtp works when we send to my address
that i have on my clients account thta then forward to me.
but if i try its smtp to send to my domain directly it
fails with the exact error thta is listed on that link you
posted for me. any help would be much appreciated..

I cannot help without the information i asked for. Please look in the Event
Log for information regarding this. There should be information about why it
cannot send out the emails.

Look at the evnt log and the SMTP log for entries relating to the
message being sent.  Also, is the reporting service using a MAPI
clinet on SQL?
