Using IIS SMTP services with Mailenable

I'm running Windows 2003 and Mailenable (www.mailenable.com) to forward mail
for 13 of my hosting clients to their POP3 clients.

I also have sites that use FPSE to send mail from .asp pages and forms.

IIS 6.0 has a default value of port 25 for SMTP services. Mailenable will
allow IIS SMTP services to coexist, as long as the port is changed to
something else.

What is a safe/reliable port to use if I want to change it in IIS 6.0 from
port 25?

Thanks,
Rich

Why can't the FPSE stuff use the MailEnable SMTP server?

Cheers
Ken

Hello Rich,

It's reliable to change the IIS6 smtp virtual server port to any
value other than some well-known port numbers like http 80, ftp
20/21... Maybe 2525? :-)

However, according to your scenario my concern is if the FPSE site
administration page->Change Configuration Settings->Mail
Settings->SMTP mail server setting supports a syntax like
servername:<port>

Therefore, I think you may set servername:<newport> in FPSE to have a
test. If this doesn't work, as Ken suggested, using a single smtp
should be a better solution.

Let us know if you meet any further issues.
Have a nice day,
