I'm having the same problem with my ASP mail - I rushed in to my server room to
check on the permissions of the pickup folder and made sure that IUSR had change
access. I checked the IPs allowed to relay (all IPs in our class C license) and
am stumped. The SMTP service is running, according to the Control Panel, but in
MMC the default SMTP site is stopped (and won't start up at all - I'm getting a
"Service takes too long to start" message). Could this be part of the problem?
