Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS) is the web sever for Windows platform. However, it is a surprise to know that by default, there is a SMTP server working side by side when IIS is installed. The redundant SMTP server might give rise to security attacks. For those network administrators that are aware of this issue, they have stopped the SMTP from auto-start in the network administration tools.
The reality is that still Many IIS stations which act as web servers still have the useless SMTP daemon not yet removed.
