  IIS SMTP and Server 2008 Reply Contact For some reason the iis smtp server and php are not communicating properly. I have verified that the smtp is working by telneting to it and doing the mail commands and I'm able to receive an email. In addition, I followed this link http://support.microsoft.com/?id=297700 and was able to receive an email. But whenever I try to send email from PHP nothing happens. What makes this even crazier is there are no smtp logs being written. The log files should be located at c:\windows\system32\logfiles\smtpsvc1 but the smtpsvc1 folder does not exist and there are no email messages in the drop, pickup, queue, or badmail folders under mailroot. I'm not really sure why no logs exist for this. I gave the Network Service user permission to that logfiles folder but to no avail. So I guess the gist of my question is how can I make PHP and iis smtp send email. I have the smtp configured to send email to a remote MailEnable server not exchange. Any ideas?
