SharePoint Incoming email settings

SharePoint Incoming email

1.Email comes to drop folder but does not redirect to appropriate list or library.

Go to central admin--> operations-->Timer Job definitions

Check whether the WS SharePoint incoming email job is running
if it is not running

1)  ran STSADM -o enumservices > c:\services.txt   to list the services in a text file.
Then they opened the text file and found the SPIncomingEmailService and copied that entry.
Then they ran STSADM -o provisionservice -action start -servicetype "Microsoft.SharePoint.SPIncomingEmailService, Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=12.0.0.0, Culture..."

      Make sure the string for the service type above is in quotations and that you copy the entire string from the services txt file...above I abbreviated it but you need the entire string.

That made the service start up immediately.

2) Then I had to go into Central Administration - Operations - Incoming Email settings and change my from Automatic to Advanced and point to the proper Drop folder.  I should have to do that, but in my case I had just removed a second front end server out of the farm and SharePoint kept thinking SMTP should be on the other server that was decommissioned.

restart windows SharePoint services timer

3) Then an IISreset /noforce  and everything started sending.
