mailq in Windows 2000?
-
Hello In Linux I can always give a mailq command to see what mails are left in the queue. How do I do this in Win 2000's SMTP server [the one that comes with IIS 5] This is so that I know when I can safely shut down my machine. Sometimes I am not sure whether my mail has fully gone [I use my localhost as smtp]. THus I wait till I am sure the mail has gone before shutting down. This is a bother as I often give a tolerance of 5 minutes before shutting down. Sometimes I am still scared as to whether a mail was not sent. Anyway even otherwise what if there is a DNS failure because I mistyped the email address. How do I see the logs? I ean is there a log that shows what mails were sent and when and how many bytes/mail etc.... Thanks in advance... Regards Nish Sonork ID 100.9786 voidmain

I don't remember the exact folder because I don't use my own SMTP anymore, but I do remember there was a folder (something like C:\Inetpub\mailroot\) where the SMTP server dropped emails if they couldn't be delivered. I know this doesn't help much, but it's a start. Jon Sagara "After all is said and done, usually more is said than done." -- Unknown
