MerakMailServer and SMPT of IIS

[tourlou]

Hi,

I have a web page running with IIS 5 and my web page is using the smtp from IIS to send mail confirmation to user. On the same computer I just install Merak mailserver, of course because of it the smtp from IIS doesn't work anymore ;-). Is there a way that I can change to code to work with Merak or I cannot make Merak to work with code?

thanks
Stef

Im not sure exactly what your asking here. Once you install meraks mailserver you will use that as your smtp server. The IIS one gets shut off. Besides the merak smtp server can supposedly handle more load that the MS smtp server.

You can't run two SMTP services on only one IP/port combination.

Are you running IIS5 on a server? then I would close down the IIS SMTP anyway, because it leaks like a basket. Use the Merak SMTP in stead.

Only a very small change in either your ASP or PHP code, and the installation of the ActiveX component supplied by merak can send your emails from the page involved.

Give it a try. It's really small and very easy to set up.
