iis smtp nntp: How do I resubmit mail sitting in this folder? I've tried restarting the SMTP
service and moving the files to the pickup folder. Is their some way to force

Actually, I believe you've already done what you need to do. Stop SMTP,
move the mail files to the Pickup folder and then restart SMTP.

You might also check your setup and make sure that you are set to perform a
direct delivery before using the smart host. Look at the Advanced button
under the Delivery tab on the SMTP property dialog.

Thanks. I actually do prefer these go through a smart host. I have that
configured and I can telnet to port 25 on the Exchange server from this IIS
box and manually send a test message. However, messages sent by IIS don't
always go, sometimes the connection stays open for the default 10 minutes and
times out.

My manual test which works fine goes like this...

telnet smarthost.server.name 25

helo iis.server.name

mail from:test@iis.server.name

rcpt to: me@mydomain.name

data

subject: Test

Test

<enter>
..
<enter>

quit

..... and I get that test message no problem.

However in the IIS log when it tries to send a message itself I see this...

Response [11/Jan/2006:17:29:28 -0500] "- -?220 smarthost.server.name

input SMTP" 0 36

Command [11/Jan/2006:17:40:23 -0500] "QUIT - SMTP" 0 4

.....And the message just stays in the queue folder.

So this "BDAT -?1257 LAST SMTP" and "451 Timeout waiting for client input"
are interesting but what does it mean and where should I go from here?

Thanks again for your thoughts and assistance.
