SMTP Service - 21.Aug.2008 12:11:08 AM

Status: offline 		I'm looking to upgrade my smtp reporting functionality.

Currently I have a perimeter server running IIS with IIS SMTP service running. This is the server I have GFI Mail Essentials and GFI Mail Security running on. This server passes mail through to a SBS2003 server.

Unfortunately the logging on IIS SMTP is not brilliant, and hard to find information on emails that 'don't turn up' when expected. Unless these actually get to the exchange server there is very little information available to diagnose where the problem has occurred with an email.

Ideally I would have a front end exchange server to accept emails, but the budget doesn't allow for this.

What are my options available to get better reporting for failed emails etc. Do GFI have an SMTP service?

Status: offline 		There is different levels of logging that you can configure on your SMTP server within IIS.  Click on Default Virtual SMTP server and enable logging.  There are different types of logging.  I use W3C Logging, but microsoft had recommended to me that I use NCSA format as it contains more usable information.  The only thing is, file sizes are MUCH MUCH larger with these type of log files.  You can also customize further what options you want logged in those files.  Click on Properties next to the active log format, and you can choose to include any number of optional information under the advanced tab.

On the messages tab, you can send NDRs to a user account on your domain...it's up to you where you want those NDR reports to go.

Hope that helps somewhat.
