Hi everyone.
Just a side note relating to .EML files. If you are using the SMTP
component of IIS, there may be a significant number of .EML files under
\Inetpub\Mailroot\Drop. Don't panic - the SMTP component generates these
files. The name of these would appear to be based on a GUID (or similar)
followed by the machine name. eg. 00b255356230291MYBOX.eml where MYBOX is
the name of the machine. You can verify the nature of these files by
opening them with Notepad or similar. The file contents should be similar
(with extra headers and so forth) to messages the component is sending. The
moral of the story is, if you have a heap of .EML files under your IIS web,
you might like to check them before you delete them.
