Overview

SMTPDiag is a troubleshooting tool designed to work directly on a Windows server with IIS/SMTP service enabled or with Exchange Server installed. It utilizes the same APIs as Windows and Exchange in order to diagnose configuration and connection issues involving SMTP and DNS.

Features

  • Makes test requests based on user-inputted information such as sender & receiver
  • Validates that DNS MX records are configured correctly
  • Ensures that the correct Firewall or Proxy ports are open for SMTP to properly work
  • Ensures the correct permissions on the relevant SMTP directories such as BadMail, Pickup, etc.
