We use non-microsoft SMTP servers and iPhones use BDAT to send to them. People disabling chunking should be aware that they're potentially making things a little more inefficient for their mobile users. I think Symantec will be forced to modernize their software.

The KB article only focuses on a limited subset of the SMTP commands that IIS' SMTP service offers. In any case, since they are tied to specific hex values, subtracting out the ones you want to turn off will turn those off. I would suggest writing down the original just in case things don't go as planned. We dumped the product after we fixed this problem due to the slowdown it caused in the mail queue. Good luck! -Joe Hi Alan,

However, the current value for SmtpInboundCommandSupportOptions is 4546589 and from the MS artile you mention I cannot figure what combination of options is turned on or off from this value. Should I simply subtract the values for Binary and Chunking from this and hope? I’m having a similar problem, and I found the Symantec SMTP Server with the Metabase Explorer.

He was truly an amazing person. I was blessed to get to know him and spend time with him and your grandma. Your granddad was a really great storyteller. I remember when the 3 of us went out in his truck to go see his land the ponds he had built. I loved hearing his stories about his life. He always made me feel welcome in his home. I will always remember him sitting at the head of the table at Thanksgiving saying prayers and telling stories and jokes. He felt like a grandpa to me after my own grandfather was gone. I will always hold him close to my heart. I feel blessed that I got to know him. Sara Hi Joe,

I was troubleshooting a problem similar to this one back in 2005, but from a client-side perspective. The SMTPSVC running on Windows 2000 Server was getting the exact same treatment when forwarding mails with BDAT to an Exchange 5.0 server. I never did figure out why BDAT had stopped working, but I found a workaround that forced the SMTPSVC service to always use DATA instead: change the MetaBase property /LM/SmtpSvc/SmtpOutboundCommandOptions from "7" (the default) to "5". Undocumented, but worked like a charm. :) The problem resurfaced at a different installation this week, with Windows 2003 Server and Exhange 6. Now I can tell the Exhange administrators there to take a closer look at their security software - _it_ could actually be dropping BDAT connections, like you describe. Thanks! -m- Excellent!
