[thelist] SMTP/CDONTS trouble

A few thoughts:
Does it fail consistently, or occasionally? These notes assume consistently.

Is this internet, or intranet?

Are the permissions on the mailroot folder correct? Compare them to the
working machine.
In the IIS console, for the default SMTP Properties, check the 'Security'
tab. Do IUSR_machinename and IWAM_machinename (don't remember for certain
this one's necessary) have operator permission?
Click the 'Delivery' tab, then the 'Advanced' button. Under 'Fully-qualified
domain name:' do you have the machine name, or machinename.domain.com?
Is antivirus software on the machine? It can kill CDONTS mail and you'll
never know what happened.
