Server 2003 equivalent of SMTP mail?

[Rof]

Hello, world.

We have just changed our network server from NT4 to WIndows Server
2003. We had a program written in VB.NET that was occasionally sending
email messages via this server, some internally and some externally,
using the SMTP mail service (System.web.mail namespace). I now realise
that this is not there in Windows Server 2003. Can somebody please give
a clue as to how I can modify the app to keep sending emails?

Thanks,
Peter Royle

Install IIS on the server?

I was under the assumption that Windows 2003 also comes with an SMTP (Simple
Mail Transport Protocol) server. You may need to add it after the base
install.

You might want to post to a windows server newsgroup. Here is a list of
all newsgroups: http://aumha.org/nntp.htm

Yves, why repeat what the poster you are replying to already said?
IIS will take care of this.

Thanks to two posters who said, "install IIS", but it is already
installed. In MMC, no "Default SMTP Virtual Server" appears, like it
used to.

I will pursue the posting from Yves Leclerc, see if I can get it
installed.

Yes, but the SMTP protocol is installed using IIS. You've got an
install problem!
