Running as an IIS Site
By default, SmarterMail installs a basic Web server that allows companies to start
using the application immediately after installation. However, SmarterTools recommends
moving to a more robust and secure Web server, such as Microsoft IIS. For step-by-step
instructions on configuring SmarterMail to run with Microsoft IIS, please refer
to the KB article How To Set up SmarterMail as an IIS Site (IIS 7.0) or
How To Set up SmarterMail as an IIS Site (IIS 6.0).
Alternatively, you may run SmarterMail as a virtual directory under an existing
site. However, this is not recommended. For more information, please refer to the
KB article How To Set Up SmarterMail as a Virtual Directory Under an Existing
IIS Site (IIS 7.0) or How To Set Up SmarterMail as a Virtual Directory Under an Existing
IIS Site (IIS 6.0).
Note: This help topic assumes familiarity with Microsoft IIS and how it works. SmarterTools
recommends using the basic Web server included with SmarterMail if you are unfamiliar
with or uncomfortable using Microsoft IIS. It should also be noted that the chat
feature will not work with the default Web server.
