Website started life originally under IIS 6 and the site worked great there. Now after relocating to a new server running W2K8S, everything but mail delivery from the website now works great under IIS 7.
Researched briefly on the Web to see if anybody had a good resolution, but no avail… Not even a glimmer of hope on Microsoft's own support site.
Here are the steps taken so far on the new W2K8S box:
- Added the feature for SMTP under the Server Manager
- Enabled SMTP e-mail for the site itself in IIS 7 Manager to deliver e-mail to SMTP server local host, unsuccessful
- Enabled SMTP e-mail for the root site in IIS 7 Manager (not sure if that needs to be on to enable sites) to deliver e-mail to SMTP server local host, unsuccessful
After failing those basic setups, I wanted to be sure I can actually talk from/to the serveron port 25. And I can successfully telnet from/to the server in question to a test e-mail on port 25 get a HELO, etc. So I do not believe it is a firewall config issue.
The IIS 7 setup test was performed with both anonymous and Windows authentication – no luck either way.
Manually checked Web Config file and it reflects correct entry for the server to use the localhost.
Read the manual and no luck there either… :-/

I faced the same problem.
I came across this link http://www.frontpagewebmaster.com/m-215289/tm.htm
and I was able to solve the issue. Go to the last post of this link.
In my case I solve problem by giving rights to "NETWORK SERVICE" user to the "Pickup" folder.
Hope this might help....
