Some emails Stuck in Drop Folder

[a***@gmail.com]

Hi,

I am having one Web Application in which we send mails through
remote SMTP server.

Some of the mails are not going and are stuck in the the Drop Folder
while others are going.

I opened the mail and found nothing notable except that it goes to
around 30-35 people but then also some mails with the same users are
going.

Can anybody help me on what the problem can be and how should I
proceed.

Thanks in advance

'Stuck' isn't the right term.

The \Drop folder is used for local delivery. Any message addressed to a
domain flagged as 'Local' or 'Alias' in your SMTP virtual server, or any
message without a domain, will, by design, be deposited in \Drop as an
.EML file.

Nothing in \Drop is ever going anywhere else. It's not a \Queue or
\Pickup folder.

The chances are strong that there are typos in your SMTP envelope
recipient addresses that make them look local. For example,
'***@example.com' will be put in \Queue to be routed to
example.com's MX server; 'joe.smithexample.com' will be left in \Drop.

Thanks. I was not much aware about how SMTP functions with all the
folders.

I opened the file and saw that the last of the mailer list name was
not having the domain name..I have corrected my stored procedure that
fethced the names from the database.But have to wait till the time
somebody uses it and sends some mail as it's on a Live system.

Can you send me any good link on this.

Yep, that's your learning curve. :)

Ah, exactly as predicted.

If you Google 'drop pickup queue', you'll get a bunch of links
relating to third parties' experience with IIS SMTP. I would venture
that there is no really good *and deep* documentation out there,
however. I'm attempting to create a corpus of low-level documents by
contributing to this newsgroup, but that's admittedly a reactive form
of documentation. There's so much ground to cover, though, that a
proactive guide to the (presumed) internals of this remarkably complex
software is something I've not yet had time for.
