Advanced SMTP Server FAQ

Port 25 is busy

Question: I installed Advanced SMTP Server on my fully updated XP box. It tells me that port 25 is busy upon execution. What should I do?

Brief Answer: Try to disable Microsoft's SMTP server supplied with the Windows XP Professional.

Answer: If you have a full installation of Windows XP professional, you have probably installed Microsoft SMTP Server that comes with IIS. It is running in the background so you don't see it. You will have to disable it in the Internet Information Services Manager that is accessible through Control Panel's Administrative tools.
