The guys from microsoft really wanna tell me that they developed a Windows 2008 Webserver Edition which has not the possibility to send out e-mails?

Is there any webapplication around in the world which is not sending out e-mails?

I have to use IIS7 and IIS6 at the same time? Or i have to use another third party application? Holy *** - i can not believe that!!!!!! What about performance and security?

(as far as i remember i just deinstalled all IIS6 settings to ad "FTP Publishing feature(lol)" to a IIS7 Website.) Damn!!

Setting SSL for SMTP option in IIS 7

Rutland — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 18:15:07 GMT

I internet web applications, on a dedicated Server 2008 with IIS 7, which need to send out e-mails. I have external e-mail hosting and that SMTP server requires login/password authentication, SSL and uses port 465. So far I haven't been able to get our apps to send out mail. They will send to an external mail server without SSL but not one that requires it. I keep adjusting my settings in IIS-7's SMTP settings but can not find any place where SSL is an option. I would prefer to use the external mail server (it gives us domain e-mail addresses, IMAP & SSL) and would reluctantly use MS SMTP server if that would work. But I don't know why I can't set SSL in IIS-7 control panel.

Any ideas on how I get the e-mail sending working with the SSL . . or work arounds?

Thanks .. .

Re: Certificate button not present on the Access tab of the default SMTP Virtual Server

serverintellect_BM — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 19:44:52 GMT

When the IIS6 SMTP Server module looks for a certificate to use for TLS encryption, it seems checks the 'Local_Machine\my' store. I'm not sure where the OpenSSL certificate was placed by the system, but if it's not in the Personal certificates section, then the SMTP server won't be able to find it, and will therefore provide the error listed here.

If you have IIS7 installed on this server, the easiest way to go about securing this would be to select the 'Server' node in the IIS7 manager, select 'Certificates', and 'Create a self-signed certificate...' This will place a copy of the certificate in both the 'Local_Machine\my' store, as well as the Trusted Roots store.

I ran through a quick test of this: clearing out the Personal store provided the error mentioned above, but reloading the 'Properties' of the SMTP server after creating the self-signed certificate through IIS showed the certificate present, and allowed it to be secured.

Hope this helps!

Note: To check what's in a given certificate store, load up MMC (mmc.exe in the 'Run' box), under 'File', select 'Add/Remove Snap-in'. Under the snap-in list, select 'Certificates', and then choose Local Machine. Once back at the MMC listing, under certificates, you can check 'Personal\Certificates' to see its content.

Outgoing Site Mail Caught by Spam Filters

cmoullas — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 09:08:37 GMT

Hi everyone!

I recently added the SMTP Server role on my IIS7-based web server and after figuring out that the SMTP role integrates with the IIS6 CP only, I finally got mail working without a hitch.

The problem is almost definitely in my DNS records in some way as outgoing website mail is getting caught by most spam filters.

More specifically, the email address I'm trying to send from is "admin (at) internetwiki (dot) ca". Sorry, don't want any of that getting picked up by Google quite yet. I have SPF records created for it and they do include the IP of the server sending the mail. The current email host is Google itself and that specific address does exist.

I'm not sure what MX records I need to get it to pass through spam filters. I've also read that it's important to get reverse DNS records set correctly, but I'm not entirely sure how to make that happen; I'm actually hosting the page behind a regular ISP.

Otherwise, maybe I should be using the ISPs SMTP servers for the outgoing mail. I'm really not sure and would greatly appreicate somebody being able to clear this up for me. Mail has always been one of those seemingly-cryptic things I've avoided for some reason.

Thanks in advance!

Php mail function is not working

Geiri — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 15:10:51 GMT

It seams as my php mail function is not working. It is correctly setup in php.ini but does not send out mail from my pages. Programs like vBulletin who send out mail throug SMTP work nicely.

Getting Server Response 5.7.1 on SMTP client.Send()

dfbaechtel2 — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 20:55:05 GMT

I am trying to send email from a Windows Server 2008 MOSS 2007 event handler that I have written in C# to my email account on gmail .com. I have SMTP running and setup to use localhost, port 25 and I specified some system credentials.

I loaded the SMTP credential as follows:

SmtpClient client = new SmtpClient();
client.Host = "localhost";
client.Port = 25;
client.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials;

I built the email message with myEmailAddr@gmail.com in the To: field.

When I execute the following line I get an exception: "Mailbox unavailable. Server response 5.7.1 Unable to Relay for myEmailAddr@gmail.com."

client.Send(BuildMailMessage(item));

I know that my gmail email address (different than above) in the message is correct.

Why can't the SMTP server on my Windows 2008 Server send an email to my GMail address?
What is wrong?

SMTP Service bug or by design? Some incoming mails stuck in "queue" folder.

msdn@pspinc.com — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 23:34:09 GMT

We use IIS 6.0 SMTP service (on Win2k8) and experiencing some incoming mail issue.
When emails are forwarded more than 3 times on the same SMTP server, emails always stuck in "Queue" folder for sometimes 10 minutes, or sometimes longer(30min to couple of days) before mails are moved to "Drop" folder.
This happens to forwarded mails only and other mails are being delivered fine.

Ex: SMTP server name: smtp01sv
1) mail received on user01@domain1.net (on smtp01sv) from external sender.
Then automatically forwarded to user02@domain1.net (on smtp01sv)
2) (via external smarthost) mail received on user02@domain1.net (on smtp01sv) from user01@domain1.net (on smtp01)
Then automatically forwarded to user03@domain1.net (on smtp01sv)
3) (via external smarthost) mail received on smtp01, but stuck on "Queue" folder before moved to "Drop" folder. (mail stays in "Queue" folder for sometimes 10 minutes, or sometimes longer: 30 min to couple of days, then automatically delivered).

We use an internally developed program to automatically forward mails.

Is this a bug or by design? (to stop mail loop??)
Every time this happens, emails delay, so please help resolving this issue.
Thank you.

Unable to send email using 3rd party server

Suzan.depp — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 06:53:54 GMT

Hello All,

I am using IIS 7 on Server 2008.

I just tried migrating my app from an older platform - everything works fine, except the email feature.

This is my config:

Whenever I need to send an email I use:

SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient();
smtp.Send(email);

The funny thing is I get absolutely no errors, however the email is never sent.

The outbound firewall ruleset allows SMTP traffic.

Any idea what I did wrong?
