iis smtp nntp : IIS SMTP not sending

I am using the SMTP server in IIS5.0 on a Win2K server platform to sen
e-mail from a web page. The e-mail is being delivered into the Pick
folder, and is ending up in the Drop folder, but the e-mail is neve
delivered. There are no files in any of the other folders unde
mailroot. None of the e-mails actually make it to the recipients.
Also, there is no log being created. I have loging set up so that
new log file is created for every day, but no log files exists.

I am using a strange port configuration. I have IIS SMTP set up o
port 8089 instead of port 25. This is because I am also running a ful
fledged mail server (pop, smtp, and webmail) on the same computer, an
that uses port 25. I can't see why putting it on a differant por
would cause this porblem, but I figured I should give as much data o
the setup as possible.

Any help would be greatly apreciated

First, why not use CDO or a mail component to send the mail using the
primary SMTP instead of installing Microsoft's SMTP?

Second, see:

Third, test using:

The different port shouldn't make any difference AFAIK.

However:
a) are you sure that the MS SMTP server is running? Check the service status
in the Services Admin tool
b) any errors in the Windows Event Log?
c) does the MS SMTP server have any DNS resolution issues?
d) the From: address in the emails you are creating - is the @domainname.com
part a real, resolvable, domain? If not, MS SMTP server will not deliver it.

Cheers
Ken
