Problems with SMTP Brent Horine

sql server notification services: I'm testing on my XP-Pro machine. I have the Default SMTP Virtual Server
installed. I have tried various Relay Restrictions including "All except
the list below". Also tried with and w/o Smart host as
smtp-server.cfl.rr.com, our ISP. I get the following errors in the
Application Event log every time. Nothing I seem to do changes the error
messages. What's wrong?

Hi Brent -

Which version are you working with, v2.0 on Framework 1.1 SP1?

Your config file should look something like this:

DeliveryChannels>
<DeliveryChannel>
<DeliveryChannelName>EmailChannel</DeliveryChannelName>
<ProtocolName>SMTP</ProtocolName>
<Arguments>
<Argument>
<Name>SmtpServer</Name>
<Value>localhost</Value>
</Argument>
</Arguments>
</DeliveryChannel>
</DeliveryChannels>

Remember that you have to run "NSControl update" to update the
application with the new information in the configuration file. If you
specify the -verbose parameter, it'll show you what changes it's
picked up.

If you're using the localhost smtp server, try adding the
NS$<InstanceName> service account to the local machine Administrators
group. (Okay for developing, not for production obviously. ) There's a
bug in .Net that requires that configuration.

HTH...
