I'm using CDONTS to send emails and I've just installed MS Exchange on my server and now I can't send emails using CDONTS. I found this article in MS Knowledge Base (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;324037) it says to give IUSR access to the metabase, i've tried to do that but once i close the properties window and go back to it IUSR is gone from the permissions... so the only thing that works is this vb script:


Option explicit

Dim objSMTP, objInst, objSD, objACL, objACE, objNew    

Dim sAccount    

sAccount = wscript.arguments(0)    

Set objSMTP = GetObject("IIS://LOCALHOST/SMTPSVC")    

For Each objInst In objSMTP       

If objInst.class = "IIsSmtpServer" Then          

set objSD = objInst.AdminACL          

set objACL = objSD.DiscretionaryACL          

set objNew = CreateObject("AccessControlEntry")          

objNew.AccessMask = 9 ' read + enumerate          

objNew.AceType = 0 ' ADS_ACETYPE_ACCESS_ALLOWED          

objNew.AceFlags = 2 ' ADS_ACEFLAG_INHERIT_ACE          

objNew.Trustee = sAccount          

objACL.AddAce objNew          

objSD.DiscretionaryACL = objACL          

objInst.Put "adminACL", Array(objSD)          

objInst.SetInfo       

End If 

Next

The problem is that if i reboot the changes also go away... has anybody encountered this problem..? if so is there a solution to it other than editing the forum mail function..?

Also I set the permissions on the SMTP to relay email only from 127.0.0.1 and all the addresses in my LAN but it won't allow me to send emails to emails addresses outside my domain (using an email client)...

Promoting IUSR to Exchange View Only Admin seems to have fixed the problem..... is it safe to do that..?

still can't relay to foreign email address using an email client... any ideas..?
