Every Email Goes Bad?

[TheVMan]

I have a Win2k Server SP3 running IIS/SMTP that is acting strange suddenly. Each time I attempt to send an email, it goes straight into the badmail folder. I get a .bdr, a .bdp, and a .bad file. The .bdr file is the only thing with an error code, 0xC00402C7, which I can't find anything about. I have stopped and started the service with no impact. I can also telnet into the server and generate the message. But like I said, it ends up straight in the badmail folder. Any suggestions?

Thanks.
V

did you ever resolve this? i'm having the same issues as well. and the asp scripts that i'm using have been working fine for months/years!

Uninstalled/reinstalled SMTP service and that resolved the issue.

 

[bbolte]

ended up doing the same. hope this isn't standard procedure for this thing - every few months re-installing smtp!

I'm curious if you reviewed the log files and found
anything interesting there. (Like smtp errors, etc.)

yep. found nothing.

Hope I never have this problem

it was really strange. nothing was giving us any indication. read through some other threads here and on a couple of other forums and the only recourse was to re-install smtp services. we're not the only ones this has happened to evidently. hope it's the last for us as well...

I just had the same problem: message error 0xC00402C7 all messages went to the BADMAIL folder. After making a virtual domain redirect for cetain domains it worked - obviously that was not an option. so I de-installed and re-installed smtp and it works now.

If anyone is still checking this form, i am interested in how to set up the smtp service with iis?

sounds like you all have done this.
I appreciate any help

I have also just experienced this VERY inconvenient feature of IIS. My colleague is currently reinstalling the SMTP service following the suggestion above. I just hope it works.

We have got about 300 messages (900 files) in the Badmail directory. Is there anything I can do to get IIS to send these messages on?
