  IIS Default SMTP Virtual Server internal email problem Reply Contact I have an application where people can click on "Forgot my password" to retrieve username/password to their email address.  If a person has an email address that is outside the domain, (like joe@yahoo.com or sara@hotmail.com ), it works, but if a person using an email address that is the same as the domain (meaning internal emails address), then it will not work. I've tried configuring "Advanced Delivery" different ways, but I'm not sure I'm in the right direction to correct the issue.  Right now, all test emails are getting stuck in the Drop folder, but no email after that. Anyone have any ideas?

  Re: IIS Default SMTP Virtual Server internal email problem Reply Contact Hey, I can't say that I have actually used this article before but here are some steps that might get you going in the right direction.  In short, though, you need to setup your local SMTP instance to use a SmartHost and point it to your Exchange server.  Step 2: Configure the SMTP Service to Relay for Internal Domains Depending on the scenario, it may be necessary to configure the SMTP service to relay inbound messages for your internal domains. Click Start, point to Programs, click Administrative Tools, and then click Internet Services Manager. Expand the tree under the server name, and then expand the Default SMTP Virtual Server. By default, you should have a Local (Default) domain with the fully qualified domain name of the server. Configure the domain for inbound: Right-click the Domains icon, click New, and then click Domain. Click Remote, click Next, and then type the domain name in the Name box. Click Finish. If this doesn't get you headed in the right direction let me know and I will dig more or even test on my end.. ~Chris Former Program Manager IIS Product Unit (Microsoft)

  Re: IIS Default SMTP Virtual Server internal email problem Reply Contact I failed to mention, if this helps, that this server is located on a web farm with Load Balancer.  So, would I configure a 10.1 or a 192 address?  The email server is a 10.1 address.  Can you tell me why people with external addresses have no problem getting emails but internal users do?  I do see that external addresses are handled differently than internal request.  I'm taking it, also, that external users never hit exchange.  Do they just get forwarded out by the local IIS automatically?  How does that work?   Thanks

  Re: IIS Default SMTP Virtual Server internal email problem Reply Contact Big Show: Right now, all test emails are getting stuck in the Drop folder, but no email after that. This means SMTP is working fine.  That's the way SMTP is supposed to deliver the message, then a POP/IMAPI server picks it up from the drop folder.  Only you're expecting mail to move to another server in your domain, which isn't going to happen, since SMTP knows it's destined for the domain it serves.

  Re: IIS Default SMTP Virtual Server internal email problem Reply Contact Hello, Im new to SMTP servers in ISS, Im having difficulty in setting this mail system. Im trying to get it to work on a asp.net starter kit, When I try to send a message to another user on my website, it says "the email has been sent" but it just sends that email to my server instead of the user. It will only send the email to the drop box and will not relay. Can someone please give me instructions on how to fix this.
