Simulating mail send and receive on localhost

Hallo people,
=20
I am desperate with my SMTP server. I am working on it and trying to
enable it to send email to my localhost mail server. But what happen was
all my messages get stuck in the queue folder.

If you have experience with this Microsoft SMTP server, please advice me
systematically on how to make it able to send the message to drop folder
and how to create more than 1 email account so I can simulate the send
and receive operations. Thank you in advance......

You need a POP3 server for mailboxes. Email has two server parts - SMTP (for
delivering mail), and POP3 (for mailboxes).

Additionally you need to configure the DNS (domain name system) so that the
SMTP server knows where to deliver mail to (you need to configure MX records
so that the SMTP server knows which machine accepts mail for @myCompany.com)

Cheers

Try posting your message to the SMTP folder if you have further trouble...
