title: Is the SMTP virtual server deprecated in IIS 7?
body: <p>It seems that in IIS 7 (7.5, Windows Server 2008 R2) the SMTP virtual server is a second-class citizen, only being configurable through the IIS 6.0 compatibility-mode management tool. This arrangement leads me to wonder whether the SMTP virtual server is deprecated, or otherwise "on it's way out".</p>
  
  <p>Is this accurate? Is the SMTP virtual server shipped with IIS being phased out? Is there a replacement on its way in?</p>
