We're running an IIS 4 box that hosts two Intranets both of which include form pages that allow users to send email messages. One of the sites, my "good" site, sends its mail using the SMTP mail server setting found under Options on the Server Extensions tab of the site's properties, so if I want to change the SMTP mail server I can successfully do it by changing these settings.

The other site, my "problem" site, though seems a little peculiar with my limited knowledge/understanding of IIS in that it seems to send its mail using the Default SMTP site and the Default SMTP site is configured to use a mail server/IP address that I don't want it to be using.

Here are my questions. On the simplest level, how do I change the IP address that the Default SMTP site uses? On a more complex level, how do I stop my "problem" site from using the Default SMTP site and instead force it to use its own SMTP mail server settings from the Server Extenstions tab of its properties like my "good" site is doing?

I don't want either site using the Default SMTP site; I want to be able to stop the Default SMTP site, but right now I can't do that because my "problem" site is using it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Karine

I'm sorry itguru, I'm afraid I didn't present myself very well.

I want to stop my Default SMTP site and force each of my Intranets to process mail using the SMTP mail server setting found under Options on the Server Extensions tab of each of the site's properties.

When I stop my Default SMTP site, one of my sites processes email successfully using its own properties, but the other site stops processing mail all together.

How do I force this other site to process email through its own properties? Something somewhere seems to be telling it to use the Default SMTP site rather than its own site properties.

Thanks,
Karine

How do I find out the SMTP on this computer? I tried the MS-DOS prompt window.

Thank you.
