I am following an article on Technet "How to Configure External DNS Servers
on an Outbound SMTP Virtual Server." I am running W2K3 Ent Sp1 with IIS and
SMTP service enabled. I am at the Advanced Delivery dialog box where and do
not have the "Configure external DNS Servers:" On the document it is located
under the "Perform reverse DNS lookup on incoming message" but on my server
it does not even appear. Am I missing something?

As far as I am aware the SMTP service included with IIS is missing some
of the functionality present in the Exchange SMTP Connector. I
looked for this myself a while back and never could find it, nor a
registry key to enable it, though that doesn't mean one does not exist.

What are you trying to accomplish in detail? There might be another
way to do it.
