jpatto Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FAT64 Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 Install the SMTP service. Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs>Windows Components>IIS>SMTPStart>All Programs>Administrative Tools>Internet Information ServicesRight-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.

FAT64 Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpatto Posted November 22, 2004 Author Share Posted November 22, 2004 Yea its assigned via DHCP, so ill have to change it every time i log on i guess. Thanks anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FAT64 Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 But if you are hosting a service, SMTP, you should ask for a static IP address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
