Email from web server causes Error: -2147024893

Error -2147024893 : The system cannot find the path specified.

Our MediaBin web Client has been working great. Totally out of the blue, we are getting this error. I figure it's something with our smtp configuration however, I can't seem to find any information on it. What exactly is the mediabin code doing and what does this error mean?

FYI - The file is prepared to be sent on the transfer folder share.
FYI - The folder has read/write permissions for Everyone

To help troubleshoot the issue, we setup an email from the relay server and it worked. I also initiated an email from a seperate sql server and it worked too. To me, this says that the mail server and smtp relay server are both not the problem.

I rebooted the web server and also the MediaBin Server with no luck.

Did your sys admins get rid of IIS SMTP server? It did happen once at one of my clients.

Check for the settings in Email*.asp files and see if it points to the correct location. Something like c:\Inetpub\ or d:\Inetpub

A bit more info: the default location of the SMTP service's "pickup" folder may have changed. I'm assuming you're using the pickup folder since you refer to a test running the SMTP relay service. You may need to edit each ASP page to point it to the proper location on your file system.
In each ASP page prefixed by the word EMAIL, look for this line (not all email pages may contain them, so you don't need to alter any lines in those pages). Notice the path. That is the default location. Your SA may have moved it to another drive. That is not uncommon. Simply edit the path. You should not need to restart IIS.

Thanks a lot. That fixed the issue. My .asp files were pointing at the incorrect location for the mail box. I created a new constant and put it in the mediabin\include\constant.asp file. I modified the email*.asp pages to use that constant.

Strange as I talked around here and nobody seems to know anything. I probably overwrote the file inadvertently. Ooops.

Thanks for all your help, the user forum is great and support hasn't even responded to my request yet.

Haa!
