SMTP
|
From: Richard Richter on 16 Nov 2009 16:39 I am using SBS2003 SP2. Up until recently, SMTP was working perfectly to send out email. Lately, it just stopped. The first thing I checked was the services and it was just sitting there with the start command. When I clicked on start, I got the following Services message: Could not start the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) on Local Computer. Error 1068: The dependency service or group failed to start. I checked the dependencies and they are started - Event Log and Remote Procedure Call (RPC). When I try to open the default SMTP Virtual Server Properties, I get an IIS Logging message: Unable to read the current logging plugin value. When I press the OK button, the properties window comes up. In the General tab, The IP Address lines reads All Unassigned and the Active Log Format is empty. I'd appreciate any help to get this started. Thanks, Richard Richter
From: Duncan McC on 16 Nov 2009 17:05 Strange problems there Richard. For starters, chkdsk /f your server drives - perhaps there is some corruption causing some problems. After a server reboot, I *always*: * check the Event Logs * check the services (sort by Startup Type column and scan down, make sure all the Automatic started services ARE started (Perf log won't be that's normal). Then, run the SBS Best Practices Analyzer, see if it turns up anything too. -- Duncan. In article <urzQVVwZKHA.2188(a)TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl>, rprdds(a)hotmail.com says... > > I am using SBS2003 SP2.

From: Dave Nickason [SBS MVP] on 16 Nov 2009 17:47 I don't suppose you've recently enabled Sender ID? I ran into an issue shortly after enabling it where SMTP would not restart short of a server reboot. This isn't immediately obvious since you probably don't restart SMTP all that often (where it bit me was when SMTP didn't restart after an IMF update). In my case, the fix was http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;927478 . This only applies if Sender ID is the cause of your problem.

From: Duncan McC on 16 Nov 2009 20:02 I think Dave touches on a very good point - what have you changed recently? -- Duncan.
