You can use Administrative Tools to configure the default state of the SMTP service at startup.

Important

You must be a member of the Administrators group on the local computer to perform the following procedure or procedures. As a security best practice, log on to your computer by using an account that is not in theAdministrators group, and then use the runas command to run IIS Manager as an administrator. At a command prompt, type runas /User:Administrative_AccountName "mmc systemroot\system32\inetsrv\iis.msc".

  1. From the Start menu, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Component Services.

  2. In the console tree, click Services (Local).

  3. In the details pane, right-click Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), and then click Properties.

  4. On the General tab, in the Startup type list, click Automatic, Manual, or Disabled.
