I have a Windows 2008 server and am running IIS 6 SMTP on it. Occasionally email will stop working and when I log into the server I see that the SMTP Virtual Server has stopped.
What are some causes for this and is there a way I can auto correct the issue by having it start up again by itself or something similar?
Also, if there isn't a good way to keep it running without user intervention is there something else I can use for a SMTP server that is easy to setup?

After you've corrected the problem you can set the Recovery options of the service (from the properties of the service) to restart the service if it stops.
