SMTP: Unable to delete virtual domain

[Paul]

Hi,

There is a domain inside the IIS SMTP that I can not delete. The default
domain is there, that is made up of my fqdn and called (Default), but there
is another domain that is listed with garbled characters and called
(Normal). 2nd mouse click doesn't show the delete command.

I used regedit to search for the name of the rogue domain but the string
value doesn't exist in the registry. Any ideas how I can get rid of this
rogue domain?

Thanks.

Hi Paul,

I have noticed the same thing myself a time or two. However if you add a
remote or alias domain, the following KB could be used to remove them.

On the other hand, when you create a domain from within the POP3 service, if
it is no longer needed, open the pop 3 service and delete it from there. I
have noticed that is the only way to remove them, for me anyway. As you
mentioned a default domain can't be deleted only renamed. Unless you
uninstall SMTP then reinstall.

HTH,

Curious
