I'm trying to send e-mails via SMTP within the IIS pickup directory. Unfortunately the e-mails are just going into the mailroot/queue folder and stay there. They never actually get sent.
Does anyone know why this would happen and a potential fix for the problem?

Had a similar problem with Files stuck in the queue. In IIS manager, SMTP Virtual Server > Properties > Delievery > Outbound Connections. The option for
Limit number of connections to
was checked and the value was0
. So it was configured to never make any outbound connections, causing the emails to never leave the server. I unchecked the option and restarted the SMTP server and all was well.
