I followed the following instructions. More
specifically, under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\SMTPD32\Parameters
there was no a string variable named
MaxRCPTPerMessage, so I created it as a new DWORD, and
set the DWORD value to 2. I stoped and restarted the
SMTP server. it didn't work (it could sent to all the
4
addresses entered).
Is it possible that setting a number too low (like 2)
will not work? or what did I do wrong?
