On old Exchange machines we migrated we often (After Exchange is de-installed) install the SMTP Server. So we can re-route E-Mail from devices which have not been migrated and log that info.
You have a Server 2008 64BOIT RTM and the separate installed SMTP-Service in IIS 6.0 Manager does not write Logfiles.
- You set the Logfiles options
- You did a telnet IP (Not Localhost) on port 25
- You tried to force write of logs with “netsh http flush logbuffer”
You will have to enable / Install the ODB-Protokollierung (ODBC Logging module)
Here is how to do that on a German Server 2008
You need the CORRECT permission on as example d:\smtp_logfiles or keep it at default location under c:\windows\system32\logfiles

This steps may take up to 30 minutes don’t ask why. Maybe it’s reinstalling the full IIS or compiling some Framework Assemblies. Just wait it will finish.
