I'm playing with Windows Server 2008 and it appears that the SMTP Server didn't receive much, if any, treatment in the latest Windows Server release. The RC1 version looks like the old IIS 6 version with the exception that the secure communications component has been handicapped. It will not let you choose a server certificate anymore - it just grabs the one that the server has self-generated. In addition clicking Current Sessions results in a "No such interface supported" message. With Exchange Server 2007 abandoning it (which is a good thing, really), do you ever get the feeling that this is a component that ought to not ship? I know we want compatibility but this component looks so pathetic compared to the fancy new IIS Manager and FTP Publishing Service (not the one that ships with it, but the out-of-band web release one). Come on guys, put Old Yeller to rest and toss the SMTP Server, or give it a good rewrite. Troubleshooting it is painful enough, but seeing the sad state it is in now makes my heart hurt.
