| Hello I am trying to use an SMTP server to relay all mail for an online store but they just queue up and seem to try but fail to send? I have checked all of the settings that I can see that would cause a problem I have used the SMTP server before without issues.... Hmph!! Please help |

| There is a setting that can be set by default to stop relaying of any kind and that is under the outbound connections settings: If you go into the properties of your SMTP server in IIS6 Admin: [img=https://www.sircles.net/downloads/images/smtp0.png]iis6 smtp server properties[/img] And then into the delivery tab at the box, and find the [i]Outbound Connections[/i] button at the bottom [img=https://www.sircles.net/downloads/images/smtp1.png]iis6 smtp server properties delivery tab[/img] Check that the number of connections has not been set to 0, as this will prevent all outgoing traffic. [img=https://www.sircles.net/downloads/images/smtp2.png]iis6 smtp server properties delivery tab[/img] If you set it to 200 and make sure you have set who can relay etc. to only internal addresses, you will have a functioning SMTP server. Make sure it is secure before you do this - check that the queue has nothing unsavoury in it first under c:\inetpub\mailroot\queue\ |
