*** For All Win2k Serv IIS 5 / Email Server Gurus ***

[bob332]

i am testing out email servers for a friend of mine. here is the setup - 1GHz Athlon, 512 MB Ram, 30GB Hdd, win2k serv / iis 5 / imail, mdaemon and other email servers that offer a trial period. here is the problem i am running into. whenever i am transferring a file via http, whether it be an mp3 or zip, and i check the email via the webmail option, the transfer of the mp3 or zip stops. the http server for iis 5 is running on port 80 and the webmail server for the email server are running on ports 6000 and 6200. what causes this? do i need a dedicated mail server computer and web server computer? if i am transferring the same file via ftp, no problems with checking the webmail. please help...

Did you stop the virtual smtp service in IIS? I am not sure that could be causing your problem, but it is possible.

 

[bob332]

yes, smtp in iis has been uninstalled

Does the web client have its own web service? or does it use IIS to render pages? If it has its own web service, that would be problematic, more than one service binding to port 80 could get nasty. If it has its own web service, you may want to move one of them to another port.

yes the mail webservice has its own webserver, but they are on another port - 6000
