Installing the SMTP Service

If it is not already installed, you need to install the Microsoft SMTP Service:

  • Login to Windows as an Administrator.
  • Open the services applet. This is in Control Panel in Windows NT, and Administrative tools in 2000/XP.
  • Check if "Simple Mail Transport Protocol" (2000/XP) is installed, or "Microsoft SMTP Service" (NT). If it is skip to the next section.
  • Open Control Panel and choose Add/Remove Programs
  • Choose Add/Remove windows components
  • Select IIS from the list of components then click on customize / details.
  • From the IIS Sub-components select the SMTP service. You can remove an other IIS components it will let you.
  • Once the component is installed, re-apply the latest service pack for your operating system.
  • Use Windows Update to apply any security fixes for IIS.

Configuring the SMTP Service

  • In your X folder, create a folder called Messages.
  • In the Inetpub\AdminScripts folder is script called AdsUtil.vbs. You need to use this to set the pickup folder for mail message to the messages folder you just created. Run this from a command prompt and pass it the location of your Messages folder as an argument - e.g.

cscript C:\Inetpub\Adminscripts\adsutil.vbs SET SMTPSVC/1/PickupDirectory "C:\Half-Life\X\Messages"

Configuring the plugin

  • Start and connect to your server as an Admin Mod administrator.
  • Issue the bbemail_address command with the address where you would like the e-mail messages delivered as an argument.
  • Type "e-mail hello world" in the console to test.
