Why don't I see any options for using the SMTP service in the Microsoft IIS Manager?

A. If after you add the SMTP service you don't see a default SMTP Virtual Server in IIS Manager or see any options to create virtual servers, the SMTP registration most likely failed. To correct the problem, perform the following steps:

  1. Select Start, Run.

  2. Enter

    regsvr32 %systemroot%system32inetsrvsmtpsnap.dll 

    to register the Smtpsnap DLL.

  3. Click OK.

The SMTP options will be available without rebooting.
