How do I add a simple SMTP mail sending server for Sharepoint?

SharePoint often requires related email notifications. If the enterprise does not have an Exchange mailbox, you can deploy a simple email SMTP service on the local machine of the moss server. The configuration method is as follows:

1. Use "Add/Delete" to add an IIS component, SMTP component.

2. Right-click "my computer"-"manage"-expand the tree of all IIS, and you will find that a default SMTP is installed, as shown in:

If you do not see "Default SMTP virtual server", right-click "Internet Information Service Manager"-"New"-"SMTP virtual server", and then refer to step 4.

3. Click "Domain" on the left. Some fields may be listed in the window on the right. If yes, delete all fields. Right-click "Domain" and choose "New"> "domain". A selection is displayed."Local"(This option may be"LocalOr skip to step 4)

PS: If you want to use the POP3 mailbox service, do not delete the original domain. simply create a new domain on the POP3 management interface. SMTP automatically creates a "Custom" domain. However, this "Custom" SMTP domain cannot use moss email to pass in the service.

4. A dialog box is displayed:

Enter the domain name, which must be the mailbox domain name on the Internet of the server, which is also the part after the @ you sent the mail.

5. Right-click "SMTP virtual server" and select "properties ", here, "access"-"relay restrictions" and "pass"-"advanced" Settings (the domain name is set to your own domain name, PS: Fully Qualified Domain Name, I used the local prefix, you can also skip the DNS check ):

How to test your SMTP server:

In the command line, enter Telnet <local IP address> 25

An SMTP terminal command will appear,

Enter helo under the big Yu sign (greeting)

Enter mail from: Administrator @ your domain name (set the sender)

If it is not OK, enter it again.

Input: rcpt to: name@email.com (set sender)

If it is not OK, re-enter.

Input: Data (start to write content)

Enter <press enter>. <press enter> (Press ENTER + English + press Enter)

If you are prompted, It will be OK if you have joined the mail queue!

How to Set in Moss:

Outgoing email: During the moss operation, set "outgoing email", fill in the domain name of the local machine, and the sender will be OK.
