>> I can't get the IIS smtp service to send an email to an IMAIL list on
the same machine. <<
a) you can check the SMTP log for the IIS service to see what IIS has to
say.
b) you can check the /BADMAIL and /QUEUE folders in IIS to determine the
progress within the IIS SMTP.
c) you need to check the RELAY settings in IIS SMTP to verify that you
are allowing mail to originate at your virtual web server address and be
sent to the IP of your Imail official host name.
d) you need to check the RELAY settings in IMAIL to make sure you DO
allow mail to be accepted from the IIS SMTP IP address (e.g., you may
have IIS SMTP running as "localhost", 127.0.0.1.
e) you need to check the Imail log to see if Imail is even CONTACTED by
IIS for sending - if not, then the problem is with your IIS SMTP
security and/or relay settings (you have the IMail IP address explicitly
blocked or not excluded from your global block.
Let us know what you find.
>> If I set the port on the IIS SMTP sertvice to 26 on both send a
recieve it doesn't send anything. <<
Any mail server that you will try to send to, will only respond to port
25. So, you MUST set the OUTBOUND port to 25. Otherwise, IIS cannot
contact IMail. IIS SMTP will contact IMail on port 25, and Imail will
answer that port.
>> If I set it to 26 for send, 25 to recieve it works fine. <<
a) I highly doubt that. If you set it to 26 for SENDING, then you are
contacting a port (26) that no mail server will ANSWER.
b) Just the reverse would be correct: You set up IIS SMTP to SEND on
port 25 and to LISTEN/RECEIVE on port 26. In essence, that turns off
the "receiving" for IIS SMPT - which is exactly what you want, you want
all incoming mail on port 25 to be handled by Imail for that machine.
c) CDO/NTS communicates DIRECTLY with IIS SMTP - so the port settings
have no relevance in "passing" mail to IIS SMTP. But the above port
settings ARE critical to get IIS SMTP to be able to DELIVER the mail
that was created by CDO/NTS.
>> Is it possible to unbind IMAIL from one of the IP numbers? <<
No
>> Did my problem get lost in my explaination... argh.. any ideas? <<
You are doing fine. Work with the log files, they are your friend.
