Hi there,

Check permission for inetpub\mailroot folder:

Should have following users:

IUSR_xxxxx (check all except full control)

IWAM_xxxxx (check all except full control)

also check permission for windows\system32 folder.

With best regards,

Should you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.

If you response to an email, please quote the complete message.
