Restarting SMTP, should e-mails be sent immediately


Restarting SMTP, should e-mails be sent immediately Michael
8/12/2005 9:15:59 AM
iis smtp nntp:
Here is the scenario:
1. Stop SMTP
2. ASP.NET app tries to send some e-mails
3. E-mails get queued
4. Start SMTP

My question is; will those queued e-mails automatically be delivered
immediately after the SMTP service restarts? Or could there be a delay?
Thanks.

There can, and often will be a delay. Sometimes numbering in hours if
retries have been attempted.

Hi Jeff,

While the SMTP service is stopped, there are no retries, right? Because if
there are, then say I leave the SMTP service stopped for 2+ days, by default
e-mails won't be sent after 2 days retries.

Thanks
Michael

I am not sure if the mails will get queued after stoping SMTP.

When you stop SMTP service there is no service to queue the mails to mail
queue, correct me if I am wrong.

more information on Mail delivery with IIS 6.0 is here..

No retries. No nothing actually, the files don't get queued, and the
service isn't there to even accept them. You could leave mail files in
the drop directory but that's about it.
