Smtp in IIS

If SMTP is not showing up in the IIS Administrator Console, this either means it is not installed, or not properly recognized by IIS.

If you know that SMTP is installed, from a command prompt, type the following:

Code:

This should register the necessary .dll file for IIS to recognize the service.

If SMTP is not installed, you will need to do the following:

1. Click Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs

2. Click the Add/Remove Windows Components button

3. Select Application Server and click Details.

4. Select Internet Information Services (IIS) and click Details.

5. Check the box for SMTP Service.

Once the installation is complete, open the IIS Manager and you should see the "Default SMTP Virtual Server".

However, by default, the SMTP Server can be connected to from *any* outside source. To restrict this, do the following:

1. Right-click Default SMTP Virtual Server, click Properties.

2. Click the Access tab.

3. Click the Connection button.

4. Change the option to "Only the list below"

5. Click Add, and type the server's IP address or range of IPs into the correct fields.
