Question: How can I make the SMTP virtual server appear in the MMC
console? Currently it is not showing.

Windows 2000 Pro SP3 French-Canadian standalone Workstation , no
network present
IIS installed with all options
Microsoft Loopback Adapter installed, bound with:
- File and printer sharing
- Client for Microsoft Networks
- TCP/IP

* Testing is done while connected to the net using a dialup account
* Always logging in the computer as Administrator
* SMTP Service is running
* ASP code can instantiate CDO.Message object
* CDO.Message .Send methods succeeds -- but mail is never
received by recipient
* FTP server and Web Server do appear in Console

Already tried:
* re-installing smtp service
* re-installing IIS
* creating a new console under MMC
Any ideas and help will be immensely appreciated.

I don't know what MMC console is, but as far as I know, SMTP related
with MX record pretty much
normally, SMTP don't need to config too much at all, but you really
need to check DNS server of MX record
hope it would help..
