IIS Pools - IIS Application Pools Monitoring

• This program allows monitoring of IIS 6 application pools.
• All the monitoring data is stored in log files.
• It is possible to analyze a pool to find a website (or a virtual application) using too much resources.

Note: Current version of the program allows monitoring and logging of both CPU and RAM usage. But there is an auto-analysis of CPU usage only.

We believe you hate SPAM (especially if it was sent by your customer from your server and you are blacklisted now), don’t you?

The IIS SMTP Monitor program (Windows service) is a tool for IIS 7 (and IIS 6) Pickup folder monitoring. The tool saves the following information in its log file: File Name, File Owner (Windows Account Name), First N bytes of the file (e-mail message). Believe it or not, it is free!

Windows web hosting providers do need this tool to stop outgoing SPAM. If you allow to send mail with ASP or PHP scripts with CDONTS or CDOSYS, your web hosting clients are able to send SPAM from your servers anonymously. And then it gets very difficult to track it down and stop SPAM. As a result, your server is blacklisted and all your customers have problems now. To avoid this you should install IIS SMTP Monitor.

You should also use unique Windows User Names for your IIS websites. Do not use IUSR_computername for all websites. Instead create and assign a new account for each site. E.g. IUSR_SiteNameHere. Actually all decent web hosting control panels do this automatically.

If you have IIS SMTP Monitor installed, you can see the origin (the owner username) of outgoing SPAM messages sent by your customers. And you can find the website by its unique user name and STOP SPAM.
