SMTP Server

There has been very limited documentations on the setting up of a SMTP
server (installed with IIS) on Windows XP. Could anyone shed some light?

There is documentation in the online help.

What exactly do you need help with? Installation? Configuration? What
configuration option?

Cheers

I read the online help but it is of little help. I need to configure it to
work with my email clients Eudora and Outlook. I just need to send email
using my own SMTP server as some of the ISP won't allow email to get through
if it originated from other ISP email address.

OK, so in Outlook you set your SMTP server to xx.xx.xx.xx where xx.xx.xx.xx
is the IP address of your SMTP server.

In the SMTP server config, you probably need to allow relay for the IP
address of the machine that Outlook/Eudora is running on.

If you are still having problems, please post error messages etc that you
are seeing.

Lastly, the online documentation does a good job of explaining what the
various options are for. That's what documentation is. You are looking,
instead, for a guide on how to setup an SMTP server to do "x", which
Microsoft doesn't supply (because there are too many possible scenarios for
"x"). You could have posted what you wanted to accomplish, and someone would
have helped you out.

Cheers

It assumes a level of understanding about SMTP you may not yet have.
If you ask a specific question we can help answer it. You may also
want to buy an IIS administration book such as the IIS Administrator's
Pocket Consultant.

There's no configuration in SMTP to make it work with clients, you
configure clients to use that SMTP server. Check the Outlook and
Eudora documentation for that end.

The youy install SMTP according to the online documentation, configure
the client to use it and you're done. What specific errors or
problems are you encountering?
