I'm starting a new contract (and as usual, spending way too much time troubleshooting the client's equipment instead of pushing the asp/sql. &nbsp;I'm a developer, not a server guy). &nbsp;It's unclear if SMTP from this server has ever worked properly. &nbsp;Windows 2k server, IIS 5.0<br />
<br />
Here's an excerpt from the smtp server log (sitename changed to protect the guilty):<br />
<br />
#Fields: date time c-ip cs-username s-sitename s-computername s-ip s-port cs-method <br />
2006-11-27 18:40:34 10.26.11.1 testsvr SMTPSVC1 TESTSVR 10.26.11.1 0 EHLO<br />
etc. etc. A full SMTP exchange seems to go on. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I'm no old hand with smtp, but this appears that smtp is checking itself and transfering the files to itself or something like that. &nbsp;I'm also confused by the s-port = 0, why not 25? &nbsp;Obviously, the IP range is for intranet. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I've created some mail that just sits in Que. &nbsp;Eventually it ends up in BadMail. Nothing about this set up makes sense to me. &nbsp; Any ideas where to begin? &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Also, from the logs it looks like smtp fires only once per day. &nbsp;I've turned on full logging to try to get a better pix of what's going on. &nbsp;<br />

smtp log question

Windows 2000 is an operating system for use on both client and server computers. It is the successor to Windows NT 4.0, and is the last version of Microsoft Windows to display the "Windows NT" designation. Four editions of Windows 2000 were released (Professional, Server, Advanced Server, and Datacenter Server) that shared a core set of features, including many system utilities such as the Microsoft Management Console. All versions of the operating system support NTFS 3.0, Encrypting File System, as well as basic and dynamic disk storage. The Windows 2000 Server family includes support for Active Directory services, Distributed File System and fault-redundant storage volumes.
