How do I run SurgeMail and IIS SMTP virtual server on the same Windows server?
Applies to Windows 2000 PROBLEM: You can not have SurgeMail and IIS SMTP Virtual Server listening on the same TCP port 25. The IIS SMTP service listens to port 25 on all unassigned IP addresses, even though you specify a specific IP address for the SurgeMail server. You need to disable the MS IIS socket pooling feature (DisableSocketPooling). This property is not exposed in ADSI for SMTP. This works for IIS also, just substitute SmtpSvc with the W3SVC SOLUTION: • Assign a unique IP for SurgeMail . For example if your server’s IP is 123.123.123.30 , assign 123.123.123.31 to be used for the DNS resolution that will point to the URL that resolves to SurgeMail on your Windows server, e.g. mail2.yourdomain.com. • Download and install the MetaEdit2.2 utility for IIS. see article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/232068/EN-US/ • Stop the default SMTP Virtual Server in IIS, if you haven’t already to have SurgeMail SMTP work on port 25.
