  sending mail with IIS 7 on 64bit system Reply Contact Hello, I’ve encountered a problem with sending e-mail using the vb.net net.mail class and using the SmtpDeliveryMethod.PickupDirectoryFromIis option. The option SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network works fine.  I’ve made a webappliaction than sends an e-mail. This works great on windows server 2008 on a 32 bits machine but fails on a 64 bits machine. I get the following exception:System.Net.Mail.SmtpException: Cannot get IIS pickup directory.   at System.Net.Mail.IisPickupDirectory.GetPickupDirectory()   at System.Net.Mail.SmtpClient.Send(MailMessage message)   Is there a setting I can change to get this working on a 64bits system?

  Re: sending mail with IIS 7 on 64bit system Reply Contact The smtp service on 64 bit OS uses the same server has previous versions.  I'd enable auditing, to see if there is any errors.  That is a good place to start when 'odd' errors like this happen. http://weblogs.asp.net/steveschofield/archive/2008/03/07/detecting-permission-issues-using-auditing-and-process-monitor.aspx Steve Schofield Windows Server MVP - IIS http://weblogs.asp.net/steveschofield http://www.IISLogs.com Log archival solution Install, Configure, Forget
