Hi All,

I am trying to achieve the following using powershell however so far i haven't got much success in doing what i am trying to do.

Here is the scenario. We have a SMTP(part of IIS component) relay service running on Windows Server 2003.

In inetmgr you can see active sessions, ServerName(LocalHost) > Default SMTP Virtual Server > Current Sessions.

Now what i would like to do is the following.

Teminate active sessions from all those IP address which are making more than n(5) number of connections.
    - first need to enumerate all the active sessions
    - then, need to find a way to group them, for example x.x.x.x is making 5 sessions and y.y.y.y
          making 2
        - then based on the criteria supplied for example Ip address making more than equal to 5
          sessions.
        - Terminate the sessions.

Later I would like to make this as schedule job which will check for the active sessions and then terminate it, if citeria mets.



Appreciate if someone can help me out here.

I'm not aware of any API to work with the IIS SMTP server to be able to pull this information out and use it elsewhere like a script.

IIS does have an API which allows you to pull metadata for several IIS functions, including SMTP:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/...51766.aspx

I've never used it, so have fun learning!

Yes, but I believe the API you linked to is for quasi-static configuration data, and does not provide dynamic data like what is being requested here.

Hi All,

Thx for responding. Is it possible to achieve using WMI.

From what I can see of IIS 6.0 WMI & COM objects the SMTP classes are simple metadata and cannot be used to control sessions/users, but only the service.

v_2nas,

So we're clear... We don't think it is possible this way.

Only way I can think of is to get lower to the TCP/IP level or even if you have a front end load balancer and/or firewalls, to implement your blocking logic there.

(Or maybe another SMTP server app.)

Hi All,

Thanks a lot for your kind assistance.
