As we all know, we need to use the SMTP server on the Internet to send e-mail. Because someone else's SMTP server is used, you often encounter this situation: Your important emails cannot be sent, or your urgent order was dragged on for two or three days, and the server gave you a message saying, "Please resend the failed message ".

Install and use SMTP in Windows

Windows XP/2000 comes with the SMTP component that allows you to build your own SMTP server. However, windows is not installed by default. You need to install the settings on your own.

1. Install and set SMTP

Click Start> Settings> control panel, click "add or delete programs"> add or delete Windows components. In the "Windows component wizard", double-click "Internet Information Service (IIS) ", open the detailed selection, check" SMTP service ", insert the Windows XP installation disk, and press" OK "to install.

Click the "General" tab, click the "ip address" drop-down item, and select "127.0.0.1" to point to the IP address of the Local Computer. Use the default value for other items. If it is LAN access, it has a fixed IP address, select the corresponding address. Click "access" to select a card, click "Connect" and "relay", and select "except the following list" to allow access by all users; click the "Security" tab to set the authorized user to use the SMTP server. The default user is "Administrators". You can click "add" to add a user, for example, LaCl. After the preceding settings are complete, your SMTP server is successfully set up.

If you have installed foxmail5.0, you can enable Foxmail to act as the SMTP server (no online SMTP is required). Foxmail directly sends the mail to the recipient's mailbox. The recipient can receive the email immediately after sending the email. If the express mail is successfully sent, emails in Foxmail "mail" will be automatically transferred to "sent mail"; otherwise, emails in "mail" will remain there, it indicates that the email cannot be sent out, so you can see whether the email has been sent successfully! The following describes how to use Foxmail express delivery:

1. Obtain the IP address of the local DNS Server

Before sending Foxmail, you must first obtain the IP address of the local DNS server and use the local DNS server to resolve the domain name address of the recipient's mailbox to an IP address. You can first connect to the Internet and obtain the local DNS Server IP address using the following methods:

For Win2000/XP/2003 systems, choose Start> program> attachment> command prompt, open the Command Prompt window, and run the "ipconfig/all" command, the listed information will contain "DNS servers" ip address information.

For Win95/98 systems, click Start> Run, run the "winipcfg" command, and press Enter. In the displayed "IP configuration" dialog box, click "details ", the second line in the "host information" column is the IP address of the DNS server you are using.

If Foxmail uses a local DNS server and cannot send emails by express mail, you may wish to use the DNS server address of the Telecom Department in the following major cities (fast speed) and select either of them.

Beijing Telecom: 202.106.196.115 or 202.106.0.20; Shanghai Telecom: 202.96.199.20.or 202.96.0.20.; Guangdong Telecom: 202.96.128.68 or 202.96.128.110.

You can enter either the two Domain Name Server addresses or the first one.

3. Use express mail to send emails

After completing the preceding settings, you can use express mail. Write an email in the Foxmail writing window. After writing the email, click the "email" menu or "express delivery" on the toolbar to send the email by express mail.

Note: express mail can only be sent to one recipient, and only one email address can be entered at the recipient's office.

In Foxmail, click Account → create, and create a mailbox account. The name, email address, POP3, SMTP, and other settings in the account are not blank (just enter a few letters ), you do not need to set other projects. Then, write an email under this account and send an express mail to send an anonymous email.

Use software to set up SMTP servers

Some specialized software has a built-in SMTP server, so it can also help you set up an SMTP server on your own machine.
