Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) serviceUpdated: January 21, 2005 Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) serviceThe Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) service, which transfers e-mail, is installed as part of E-

mail Services, along with the POP3 service.

SMTP controls how e-mail is transported and then delivered across the Internet to the destination

server. The SMTP service sends and receives e-mail between servers, whereas the POP3 service

retrieves e-mail from the mail server to the user's computer. For more information, see the SMTP

documentation Microsoft SMTP Service.

For more information about configuring the SMTP service for use with the POP3 service, see Simple

Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) and Configure the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol Service .Managing the SMTP serviceYou can manage the SMTP service from the Internet Information Services (IIS) Microsoft

Management Console (MMC) snap-in. To open the IIS snap-in, click Start, and then click Run. In

Open, type inetmgr, and then click OK. If the IIS snap-in does not appear, verify that you have

installed IIS.

• You can also install e-mail services using the Configure Your Server Wizard. For more information, see Related Topics.

Information about functional differences• Your server might function differently based on the version and edition of the operating system that is installed, your

account permissions, and your menu settings. For more information, see Viewing Help on the Web .

Set the authentication methodUpdated: January 21, 2005 To set the authentication method• Using the Windows interface

• Using a command line

Using the Windows interface1. Open POP3 service.2. In the console tree, right-click the computer_name node and click Properties.

Where?

• POP3 Service/computer_name3. In Authentication Method, click the drop-down menu, and then click the authentication method you want to use.

Important

• You can change the authentication method only if there are no existing domains defined. If there are existing domains, the

option to change the authentication method is disabled.

If you change this parameter, you must stop and restart the POP3 service and the IIS Admin service. For more information

on how to change the POP3 service state and start and stop the IIS Admin service, see Related Topics.

Notes

• To perform this procedure, you must be a member of the Administrators group on the local computer, or you must have



• To open the POP3 service snap-in, click Start, click Control Panel, double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-

click POP3 Service.

• If the computer on which the POP3 service is running is either a member of an Active Directory domain or a domain

controller, the default authentication method is Active Directory integrated authentication. If the computer is not in a

domain, the default is local Windows accounts authentication.

• If the computer on which the POP3 service is running is a domain controller, the available authentication methods are

Active Directory integrated authentication and encrypted password file authentication. If the computer on which the POP3

service is running is a member server in an Active Directory domain, all three authentication methods are available.

Otherwise, the available authentication methods are local Windows accounts authentication and encrypted password file

authentication.

• If you are using Active Directory integrated authentication, you must log on to the Active Directory domain, not the local

computer, to perform this procedure.

same functionality as authentication.{1|2|3} Specifies the authentication method POP3 uses to verify users who connect to the mail server. The

available authentication methods vary, depending on the configuration of your server.

• If the computer on which the POP3 service is running is an Active Directory domain

controller, the values are as follows:

1 - Active Directory integrated authentication

2 - Encrypted password file authentication

• If the computer on which the POP3 service is running is an Active Directory member

server, the values are as follows:

1 - Active Directory integrated authentication

Set the mail storeUpdated: January 21, 2005 To set the mail store• Using the Windows interface

• Using a command line

Using the Windows interface1. Open POP3 service.

2. In the console tree, right-click the computer_name node, and then click Properties.

Where?

• POP3 Service/computer_name3. In Root Mail Directory, type the path to the mail store; for example, C:\mailstore. The maximum value is 260 characters.

Important

• If you change this parameter, you must stop and restart the POP3 service and the IIS Admin service. For more information


Notes





click POP3 Service.

• You cannot set the mail store to the root directory of the hard disk, for example C:\, or to a directory in which files are

currently in use.

• It is recommended that you locate the mail store on a NTFS file system partition.

• The default mail store is system_drive :\Inetpub\mailroot\Mailbox.

• The mail store must be a directory on the local file system or a Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path; mapped drives

are not supported.• If you change the mail store from its default location or from a previous location, and there is stored e-mail, you must

manually move the folders in which the e-mail is stored to the new location.

• If you transfer the mail store to a new directory, you must move the mail store directory to ensure the directory retains the

correct ownership; copying the mail store will not work.

• If you move the mail store to a new location or restore it from a backup, you must reset the permissions on the directory

using the winpop set mailroot command.










• Because the mail store can potentially use large amounts of disk space, you should either set a disk quota limit on the

volume of the mail store (to control its disk space usage) or set it to use a volume other than the one where the operating

system is installed. This will prevent the possibility of the operating system running out of disk space if the mail store

becomes too large. For more information on disk quotas, see Configuring disk quotas for the POP3 service .
