    PickupDirectory doesn't get any emails

    I have this in my web.config

    <smtp deliveryMethod="SpecifiedPickupDirectory" from="[email protected]">
  <network host="localhost" />
  <specifiedPickupDirectory pickupDirectoryLocation="D:\Websites\mailroot" />
</smtp>

    But it seems that no mail ever makes it to the pickup directory.
    The SMTP server works, and I can Telnet to it and send emails.

    Could this be Contour or Umbraco related ?

    Doubt it, maybe permissions on the directory?

    I've added modify rights to Network Service and IIS_Users, så I don't think that's it.

    And umbraco notification emails do those get added? (like if you subscribe to a publish event)

    Unfortunately I can't check that since I get YSOD when I try to setup any notifications.

    Ok, cancel everything.
    I gotta go kill a backend developer.

    Let's say I've found the problem.

    Thanx for helping out, I owe you a beer at CG13.

    A good way of test you SMTP stuff is by using the follow: (super simple!)

     <system.net>
    <mailSettings>
      <smtp deliveryMethod="SpecifiedPickupDirectory">
        <specifiedPickupDirectory pickupDirectoryLocation="c:\TestMailMessages\" />
      </smtp>
    </mailSettings>
  </system.net>

    A word of warning, if that directory doesn't exist, it will crash. And sadly it's not possible to set that directory relative to the application (e.g. ~/Awesome!)

    I'm a very big fan of using Mandrill for sending emails at the moment, 12k emails per month for free, with analytics. Top stuff.

    (I don't work for them!) Lau
