SMTP on IIS5 vs. II6

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry




We have two servers in our DMZ. Server A is running Windows 2k3. Server
B is running Windows 2K. Both of them have a small script that sends
mail to an SMTP server internal to our network. On the Windows 2k3
server you can refer to the SMTP server using the Netbios name only.
When you do that on the Windows 2k server the piece of mail goes out to
external DNS and does a lookup on our domain then sends the mail in
through our MX records which forces it to go though our Spam filters.
If you specify the FQDN of the SMTP server on the Windows 2k server
then the piece of mail goes straight to the SMTP server. Is there
something in IIS 5.0 that requires a FQDN name versus a Netbios name
and if so, is there anything official that says that??
