Hi<br />
<br />
I have a Windows 2003 Server running an application that needs to send mail. Basically, the application is configured to send mail to the local IIS SMTP virtual server, which is configured to send the mail to the SMTP relay server.<br />
<br />
Say for example the application needs to send one email, but to 10 recipients (within the same domain). This would still count as one email, right, since IIS SMTP virtual server supports SMTP multi-rcpt/SMTP pipelining (not sure of the exact name) where one message envelope is used to send email to multiple recipients in the same domain? Or would the ability to use SMTP pipelining depend on the application? <br />
<br />
Also, if there were 9 recipients in one domain, and one in another, would that count as two mails if SMTP pipelining was used?<br />
<br />
Any help appreciated, I need a quick answer, so max points ;)<br />
<br />
Cheers

Question on SMTP multi-RCPT/ SMTP pipelining when using IIS SMTP virtual server

Interactions between email servers and clients are governed by email protocols. The three most common email protocols are POP, IMAP and MAPI. Most email software operates under one of these (and many products support more than one).  The correct protocol must be selected, and correctly configured, if you want your email account to work.

Email Protocols

IIS is Internet Information Services, the web server included with Windows Server operating systems. All current versions are built on a modular architecture; modules can be added or removed individually so that those required for specific functionality are installed. The full installation of IIS includes HTTP, security, content, compression, caching, logging and diagnostics.

Microsoft IIS Web Server

Exchange is the server side of a collaborative application product that is part of the Microsoft Server infrastructure. Exchange's major features include email, calendaring, contacts and tasks, support for mobile and web-based access to information, and support for data storage.
