Hi,

I have a Win2k server (SP3) running IIS5. FTP are running fine, and both ASP & Cold Fusion are installed. Using Cold Fusion emails are formatted and sent without a problem, indicating the firewall and the mail relay is not the issue.

Every time I try to send an email using IIS SMTP and CDONTS, the email is formatted, and dropped immediately into the badmail folder. In addition, I get the following entry in the application event log for every failed email.

Event ID: 535
Description: Virtual Server: The drop directory ,for * could not be created.

What does this mean, and how can I fix it.

Thanks

John Prince

Check the Mail to: addresses to be sure they are properly set up. Syntax is quite important here.
