iis smtp nntp: Hello all,

I am trying to find out how long Windows 2003 SMTP will store messages
for retransmit?

Thanks!

Rob

Hi,

Please open the IIS Manager Administrative Console.
Right-click on the SMTP Virtual Server in question and choose "Properties"
On the "Delivery" tab check the "Expiration Timeout" setting.

This value is configurable (i.e. can be different) for each SMTP virtual
server you have configured on the server.

Cheers
Ken

Depends on how many times it doesn't get through. Each transmit
failure doubles the previous time between tries, I think the default
max works out to 36 hours or so.
