Discussion on:

automating iis smtp service

when emailing a large email list using the iis smtp service, is there a way to schedule stopping/starting the service automatically every e.g. 2 hrs or so?
Thank you.

use the net stop and net start commands in a batch file. Then use the scheduler to schedule running the batch file every two hours.
