IIS SMTP

[jpatto]

I believe IIS has its own SMTP - how could i use this smtp to send mail? or do i need other tools with it? If so what are they or where do i start?

Thanks

Install the SMTP service. Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs>Windows Components>IIS>SMTP

Start>All Programs>Administrative Tools>Internet Information Services

Right-click "Default SMTP Virtual Server", select "Properties".

General Tab: Type the IP address of your SMTP server.

Access Tab: Connection control/Relay restrictions, select "All except the list below"

In your email account properties, change the SMTP server to your computer name.

Thanks FAT64.

When you say:

General Tab: Type the IP address of your SMTP server.

Is this an address i create myself or do i have to find it against a program on my system in other words how do i get an SMTP server?

Thanks

How do you connect to the Internet?

LAN

So, I assume your IP address is something like 192.168.0.1?? Unless you are assigned an IP address via DHCP??

Whatever your IP address is, simply type that in the General Tab page.

Yea its assigned via DHCP, so ill have to change it every time i log on i guess. Thanks anyway

But if you are hosting a service, SMTP, you should ask for a static IP address.
