I am not sure if anyone else has seen this, but I have the SMTP server configured for IIS6. I am not running exchange, by the way, just the regular SMTP server that comes with windows server 2003 and IIS6. For some reason my SMTP server stops and nothing is in the logs about it. I restart it and a few days later it stops again. Any thoughts?

Is the service set to Automatic or Manual startup? What recovery options is the service set to?

Also, this will probably get moved to stackoverflow.

It was set to manual. There were no recovery options. I set that up. It has been so long since I have delt with the IIS side of things I forgot about that stuff. Thanks!!!!!

We have seen this issue before on one of our test servers.
It turned out that an IIS update/windows Update caused an issues with an out of date Anti Virus Email Scan engine. Even though the anti virus patterns were up to date the scan engine/av program was old and causing the SMTP service to hang and crash.
Hopefully this is the same issue for you.
