Question/Problem: Using CDONTS to send mail from ASP pages. Answer/Solution: The CDONTS component requires the Microsoft SMTP service which is included with IIS. To avoid conflicts when activating Microsoft SMTP service on the same server as IMail, configure Microsoft SMTP to monitor a different incoming port:
1. start Microsoft Internet Services Manager (MMC) and open the Properties for the Microsoft SMTP service 2. on the "General" tab, click the "Advanced" button next to the IP address and set the TCP port to any unused port, e.g. 26 or 2525 3. on the "Access" tab, verify that the "Relay" list includes the IP address(es) of the virtual web servers. The outgoing port should remain as 25. After this change, all incoming mail will be processed by IMail, while either service will be able to deliver outbound mail. To avoid using Microsoft SMTP services, there are a number of third party components, such as OCXmail, ASPmail, Jmail. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Here is some customer experience running both MS SMTP and IMAIL 6.06 on a Win2000 server: The setup is a little different. Once you have it installed select properties for the SMTP service from the IIS MMC. On the General tab select advanced and on the next screen choose edit to set the incoming port to something other than 25. Select General->Connection and verify that the outgoing port is set to 25. Select Delivery->Advanced and enter the fqdn (fully qualified domain name) in the appropriate field. I had to change the name of the server so that it was the same as the fqdn. Secondly, I had to run MS DNS service as a cache only DNS server. I assumed that the SMTP server would get its DNS from the general DNS settings for the server's connection. That apparently is not true if IMAIL is installed. Once I made these changes both IMAIL and MS SMTP get along just fine. ----- Original Message ----- From: "huang xd(hotmail)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, December 07, 2001 8:40 PM Subject: IMAIL SMTP Re: [IMail Forum] Imail question need help > I think you may be right. > > I'll check it out on Monday. > > Anyone else has same experience? > > thanks > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Smart Business Lists" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Friday, December 07, 2001 7:22 PM > Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] Imail question need help > > > > My best guess is that you have both IMAIL and MS SMTP server running at > > the same time. > > > > Go into the Services applet and make certain that MS SMTP is not running > > and that it is turned off. > > > > Alternatively search the Knowledge Base about how to allow MS SMTP to > > live with IMAIL. > > > > Terry Fritts > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of huang > > xd(hotmail) > > Sent: Friday, December 07, 2001 4:40 PM > > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Subject: [IMail Forum] Imail question need help > > > > Name: daniel huang > > Address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Product: IMail Server 7.0 > > OS: Windows 2000 > > Problem: > > > > My friend's company have a licensed copy of Imail7, he asked me to > > figure > > out some problems they have, so I downloaded a evaluation copy of Imail > > and > > tried it by myself; > > > > The question they met is they were running both SQL server (for IIS/ASP > > web > > server) and Imail on same machine, but it seems the users can't receive > > maill but can send after Imail runs for 10 hours. > > > > But if you restart the system, Imail works again. > > > > I guest it must must have something to do with the queue(spool). > > > > do you have any suggestion. > > > > Thanks a lot. > > > > > > Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html > > to be removed from this list. > > > > An Archive of this list is available at: > > http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ > > > > > > > > Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html > to be removed from this list. > > An Archive of this list is available at: > http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ > Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html to be removed from this list.
