please help if you have configured default virtual SMTP server of IIS5.0

Hi All,
After struglling a lot now I can ask more specific question , As far setting as a whole is concern ,i guess it is fine as mails are mooving into different folders(DROP,QUEUE etc.)as per my configuration hence no administrative issue.I have checked one procedure from oracle database and found if i can sent mail to our one of the webserver (100.120.10.10) on port no 100 then mails can be sent to internet or intranet web server automatically resolve the dns issue. So my only requirement is how can i send mails written like (kumarop@iffco.nic.in) to our mail server -
i have gone through documentation but i guess i am making some thing wrong and want your help as my deadline is approching.as far advance setting is concern once again ai am writing the setting details overe here

fully qualified domain name is - testeproc
smart host -[ 100.120.10.10]
i have one local(default)domain called - iffco.nic.in
i have not configured any remote domain.(as my smart host will decide which is remote mail)
i have changes the output and general port ( general ->connection and general -> advance )to 100 as my smart host is configured to accept on this port only.

from above setting do u think mail adressed like kumarop@iffco.nic.in can be sent to smart host 100.120.10.10 on port no 100.

please help .

Sir,

I am struggling to configure default smtp virtual server of My IIS5.0 server. I am giving details of whole configuration , for your consideration.



Property

General

Name - Default SMTP Virtual Server

Ip address - all Unassigned

Connection - (All default setting)

Enable logging - enabled

Property of enables logging

General - (All Default)

Extended - (All Default)



Access - (all Default)

Message - (all Default)

Delivery - (all Default)

- Advance - (default)

Also tried (smart host - 100.120.1.1 (our LAN lotus domino web server))

With selecting attempt direct before ... option. Also done Check DNS and it is working fine

LDP – Not enabled

Security – Default.



Observation-

When I send mail from asp page, I found my mail in c:\initpub\mailroot\drop folder and later some of them in c:\initpub\mailroot\queue with message something “did not find recipient kumarop@iffco.com “ here I am giving address kumarop/iffco(means with in domain)



I am unable to send email I have certain droughts in mind.



a) I guess my asp page is working fine?

b) Why mails are it is not being sent inside the domain and outside domain (My interest is sending emails with in my organization at the moment).

c) I have not found anything during configuration about how IIS smtp server will resolve address (internal and outside) will it mean we have to point it for our actual domino web server. There must be some phenomena for that is not it?



Please help as our mail administrator he has not have enough knowledge of asp smtp virtual server so he is having difficulty too. As per him only one m/c (100.120.1.1 web server’s port 100 is open for communication with in my organization)



Will it matter at what port (default 25) is configured in my iis-5.0 virtual web server? Should I change it to 100?



I guess I have given all information required configuration of virtual smtp server of IIS-5.0, if you have done it for yourself please help me, also please ask where I can get documentation for that.



Regards

There is online help in the MMC for the IIS SMTP server in windows.

If you are using some other SMTP server I'm sure there will be documentation with it.

hi Om,
first of all, i would suggest to change ip address from "Unassigned" to ip of ur machine.

yes i think ur asp pages must b working fine.
i think all problems are related to IIS.

the default port should remain 25 also.
i have faced same problems about mails not going and remaining in queue folder.

if these things dont help.... i would suggest to search for IIS 5.0 on google type search engines and u will find a proper procedure of setting up ur IIS.

also u can try uninstalling and then re installing ur IIS then.

hope i helped in any way!
best of luck.
