iis smtp service vs exchange server integration with aspx

Hi all
My intranet aspx application, needs to send email notifications.
I understand there are 2 options for servicing emails in this case:
1) iis smtp service.
2)proprietary email relay server like the company's exchange server.

I need to serve only a dozen intranet users.
I am not sure what is the advantage of using iis smtp service over the
exchangr server here?
One advantage is that it should be well synchronized with my application
as both are iis related (both applications should be available at the same
time
where the exchange server mite not work at times my application will).

But i got cold feet after reviewing some of the troubled messages here
regarding
iis-smtp...

Would be happy to here about your expirience

Thanks alot
Rea

I'm puzzled by this situation. I'm running on Windows XP Pro 2002 SP 2. I started on an ASP.Net project, initially using the standard SmtpServer and MailMessage classes. For testing, I used the same e-mail address for From: and To:, my personal e-mail address on my ISP. I do not have an e-mail server set up on my machine, though I do have the SMTP service running. Everything was working. I could send a mail message from my ASP.Net...

Hey all, I need to connect to an SMTP server and get a notification when it gets a new mail to send. I want to be able to 'read' that email (retrieve recipient information for example).

I downloaded the needed files for it and get stuck...

I have some ideas that I would like to try in eliminating DoS, unwanted SMTP connections/sessions, etc. to my Exchange server. To do this I need to write code that examines each SMTP attempt to connect (HELO) message and determine whether I would like to allow them to connect or not and then notify Exchange to allow or disconnect the session Is there an API or SDK that allows me this degree of interaction and control over Exchange? If so,...

We have developed a commercial ASP.net application (personal nutrition management and tracking); we want to send smtp email from within it. For our development box, we use WinXP Pro, IIS 5.5, VisualStudio2002, VB as programing language. Our test/development version of the web app as hosted on our "localhost" works fine; our "Default SMTP Virtual Server" is running (per the IIS console).

Hi all! I am currently planning an e-mail service. The base core of the service will simply be a MDaemon mail server with a modified WorldClient as the frontend. Unfortuneately, MDaemon cannot add a footer to all outgoing mails (like "Get a FREE 10GB mail account at..."), so I've thought of this: MDaemon can be setup to use a so-called smarthost. If setup, MDaemon will forward all outgoing mail to another SMTP server, which will then...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
