Mail sent through IIS virtual SMTP server not arriving

antonyliu2002

I've set up the virtual smtp server on my IIS 5.1 like so:

1. Assign IP address to "All Unassigned", and listen to port 25.
2. Access Connection granted to "127.0.0.1" .
3. Relay only allow "127.0.0.1" .
4. Authentication: "Anonymous access" only.
5. Outbound connection listen to TCP 25.

Besides,

6. I've opened up port 25 in my Linksys WRT45G wireless router.
7. I've made port 25 an exception in my WinXP Pro built-in firewall.
8. Unblocked port 25 in McAfee 8.0 enterprise edition.

I used the following code, and

Response.Write( "Your E-mail has been sent sucessfully - Thank You")

is executed and I don't see any exception.

However, the mail never arrived!

So, what's the problem?

Is it possible to configure the virtual SMTP server to listen to a
non-standard port for just sending email? I heard that my ISP SBC DSL
blocks port 25. If this is possible, how to let it listen to a
different port?

***** The code I use ***********

<%@ Page Language="VB" Debug="true" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="Syst em.Web.Mail" %>

<script runat="server">

Sub btnSubmit_Click (sender as object, e as EventArgs)
If Page.IsValid Then
' Create a new blank MailMessage
Dim mailMessage As MailMessage = new MailMessage ()
mailMessage.Fro m = txtFrom.Text
mailMessage.To = txtTo.Text
mailMessage.Cc = txtCc.Text
mailMessage.Sub ject = "Test SMTP Message Send using port"
mailMessage.Bod y = txtName.Text & ", " &txtComments.Te xt
SmtpMail.SmtpSe rver = "127.0.0.1"

Try
SmtpMail.Send(m ailMessage)
Response.Write( "Your E-mail has been sent sucessfully - Thank You")
Catch ex As Exception
Response.Write( ("The following exception occurred: " +
ex.ToString()))
'check the InnerException
While Not (ex.InnerExcept ion Is Nothing)
Response.Write( "--------------------------------")
Response.Write( ("The following InnerException reported: "
+ ex.InnerExcepti on.ToString()))
ex = ex.InnerExcepti on
End While
End Try
End If
End Sub
</script>

Hi, Juan,

I tried like you instructed, but I still cannot get it to work.

I also have

127.0.0.1 mydoman.com

in the hosts file under system32\driver s\etc\

In the code, I still have to say

SmtpMail.SmtpSe rver = "127.0.0.1"

If I don't, I get the typical "Cannot access CDO.Message" error.

The event viewer warning message still says that the destination domain
does not respond to a connection attempt from my smtp virtual server.

Open the IIS Manager; scroll down to "Default SMTP Server";
click the "+" sign; select "Domains"; right-click "Domains"
and select "New" and then "Domain".

Select "alias", click "Next" and then write in
your domain name in the next dialog.

That's it!

If you have a domain name, you should setup a virtual domain
for the smtp server, and use your domain name as an alias.

You can also, as suggested before, create a virtual domain for your
machinename and map 127.0.0.1, in the hosts file, to your machinename.

For example, I have an smtp virtual domain for asp.net.do
and another virtual domain for my machine's name, and both work fine.

Use the IIS Manager to create your virtual domains for your smtp server.

Hi, Juan,

As a matter of fact, I do have a domain name from dnsexit.com.

I tried allowing relay for my own IP, the dynamic one (which changes
once every long while) assigned by my ISP.

And then I would use

SmtpMail.SmtpSe rver = "70.225.171.219 "

But then, I would get the typical "Could not access 'CDO.Message'
object" exception. It looks like that I won't get this exception only
if I use "127.0.0.1" .

Not sure how to go about this. It's getting really really frustrating.

If you are using 127.0.0.1 as your smtp name,
mail servers will usually reject mail sent from it.

They will also reject mail originating at single-name ( machinename )sources.

The best thing to do is register a domain name ( it's quite cheap )
and assign it to your fixed IP.

If you don't have a fixed IP, there's services like www.zoneedit.com
which can provide you with a free dns pointer to your domain,
even if you only have a dynamic IP address instead of a fixed IP.

Zoneedit will also give you a free domain MX, so that you can receive
mail addressed to mail.yourdomain .com or yourdomain.com.

Hi, Antony.

If what you are getting is a "Cannot access CDO.Message" error,
these FAQs have a few suggestions.

http://systemwebmail.com/faq/4.2.3.aspx

http://systemwebmail.com/faq/4.2.4.aspx

http://systemwebmail.com/faq/4.2.5.aspx

http://systemwebmail.com/faq/4.2.6.aspx

http://systemwebmail.com/faq/4.2.8.aspx

http://systemwebmail.com/faq/4.2.9.aspx

http://systemwebmail.com/faq/4.2.10.aspx

They are very specific to the "Cannot access CDO.Message" error.

Try them and let us know how you do.
One of them should turn the trick for you.

Hi, Juan,

As a matter of fact, I do have a domain name from dnsexit.com.

I tried allowing relay for my own IP, the dynamic one (which changes
once every long while) assigned by my ISP.

And then I would use

SmtpMail.SmtpSe rver = "70.225.171.219 "

But then, I would get the typical "Could not access 'CDO.Message'

Hi, Juan,

Thanks, but I think those are way too complicated.

Hi, Antony.

If what you are getting is a "Cannot access CDO.Message" error,
these FAQs have a few suggestions.

http://systemwebmail.com/faq/4.2.3.aspx

http://systemwebmail.com/faq/4.2.4.aspx

http://systemwebmail.com/faq/4.2.5.aspx

http://systemwebmail.com/faq/4.2.6.aspx

http://systemwebmail.com/faq/4.2.8.aspx

http://systemwebmail.com/faq/4.2.9.aspx

http://systemwebmail.com/faq/4.2.10.aspx

They are very specific to the "Cannot access CDO.Message" error.

Try them and let us know how you do.
One of them should turn the trick for you.

Hi, Juan,

I tried like you instructed, but I still cannot get it to work.

I also have

127.0.0.1 mydoman.com

in the hosts file under system32\driver s\etc\

In the code, I still have to say

SmtpMail.SmtpSe rver = "127.0.0.1"

If I don't, I get the typical "Cannot access CDO.Message" error.

The event viewer warning message still says that the destination domain
does not respond to a connection attempt from my smtp virtual server.

It's real simple.

Open the IIS Manager; scroll down to "Default SMTP Server";
click the "+" sign; select "Domains"; right-click "Domains"
and select "New" and then "Domain".

Select "alias", click "Next" and then write in
your domain name in the next dialog.

That's it!

Hmm, but I really don't know how to setup a virtual domain for my smtp
server. I googled, but could not a good tutorial.

If you have a domain name, you should setup a virtual domain
for the smtp server, and use your domain name as an alias.

You can also, as suggested before, create a virtual domain for your
machinename and map 127.0.0.1, in the hosts file, to your machinename.

For example, I have an smtp virtual domain for asp.net.do
and another virtual domain for my machine's name, and both work fine.

Use the IIS Manager to create your virtual domains for your smtp server.

Hi, Juan,

As a matter of fact, I do have a domain name from dnsexit.com.

I tried allowing relay for my own IP, the dynamic one (which changes
once every long while) assigned by my ISP.

And then I would use

SmtpMail.SmtpSe rver = "70.225.171.219 "

But then, I would get the typical "Could not access 'CDO.Message'
object" exception. It looks like that I won't get this exception only
if I use "127.0.0.1" .

Not sure how to go about this. It's getting really really frustrating.

In that case, you shouldn't be fiddling with this.
Stay with the easy stuff, although you'll never amount to anything that way.

Hi, Juan,

Thanks, but I think those are way too complicated.

Hi, Antony.

If what you are getting is a "Cannot access CDO.Message" error,
these FAQs have a few suggestions.

http://systemwebmail.com/faq/4.2.3.aspx

http://systemwebmail.com/faq/4.2.9.aspx

http://systemwebmail.com/faq/4.2.10.aspx

They are very specific to the "Cannot access CDO.Message" error.

Try them and let us know how you do.
One of them should turn the trick for you.

Hi, Juan,

I tried like you instructed, but I still cannot get it to work.

I also have

127.0.0.1 mydoman.com

in the hosts file under system32\driver s\etc\

In the code, I still have to say

SmtpMail.SmtpSe rver = "127.0.0.1"

If I don't, I get the typical "Cannot access CDO.Message" error.

The event viewer warning message still says that the destination domain
does not respond to a connection attempt from my smtp virtual server.

It's real simple.

Open the IIS Manager; scroll down to "Default SMTP Server";
click the "+" sign; select "Domains"; right-click "Domains"
and select "New" and then "Domain".

Select "alias", click "Next" and then write in
your domain name in the next dialog.

That's it!

Hmm, but I really don't know how to setup a virtual domain for my smtp
server. I googled, but could not a good tutorial.

If you have a domain name, you should setup a virtual domain
for the smtp server, and use your domain name as an alias.

You can also, as suggested before, create a virtual domain for your
machinename and map 127.0.0.1, in the hosts file, to your machinename.

For example, I have an smtp virtual domain for asp.net.do
and another virtual domain for my machine's name, and both work fine.

Use the IIS Manager to create your virtual domains for your smtp server.

Hi, Juan,

As a matter of fact, I do have a domain name from dnsexit.com.

I tried allowing relay for my own IP, the dynamic one (which changes
once every long while) assigned by my ISP.

And then I would use

SmtpMail.SmtpSe rver = "70.225.171.219 "

But then, I would get the typical "Could not access 'CDO.Message'
object" exception. It looks like that I won't get this exception only
if I use "127.0.0.1" .

Not sure how to go about this. It's getting really really frustrating.

Hey, Juan,

As a matter of fact, I am still curious about it. But I am only doing
this for fun.

However, I have a few school projects due pretty soon, so I will have
to continue with the annoying SMTP virtual server thing some time
later.

Cheers.

In that case, you shouldn't be fiddling with this.
Stay with the easy stuff, although you'll never amount to anything that way.

Hi, Juan,

Thanks, but I think those are way too complicated.

Hi, Antony.

If what you are getting is a "Cannot access CDO.Message" error,
these FAQs have a few suggestions.

http://systemwebmail.com/faq/4.2.9.aspx

http://systemwebmail.com/faq/4.2.10.aspx

They are very specific to the "Cannot access CDO.Message" error.

Try them and let us know how you do.
One of them should turn the trick for you.

Hi, Juan,

I tried like you instructed, but I still cannot get it to work.

I also have

127.0.0.1 mydoman.com

in the hosts file under system32\driver s\etc\

In the code, I still have to say

SmtpMail.SmtpSe rver = "127.0.0.1"

If I don't, I get the typical "Cannot access CDO.Message" error.

The event viewer warning message still says that the destination domain
does not respond to a connection attempt from my smtp virtual server.

It's real simple.

Open the IIS Manager; scroll down to "Default SMTP Server";
click the "+" sign; select "Domains"; right-click "Domains"
and select "New" and then "Domain".

Select "alias", click "Next" and then write in
your domain name in the next dialog.

That's it!

Hmm, but I really don't know how to setup a virtual domain for my smtp
server. I googled, but could not a good tutorial.
