How to configure local smtp server in SharePoint 3.0?

Question

Hi,

I,m trying to configure WSS 3.0 to use my local smtp server on IIS. When I'm testing smtp server using telnet it returns message that w-mail is queued to send but e-mail are supplied to their destination.

SPUtilit send mail dosen't work for me. I suspect that the name of smtp server in central administration configuration is wrong. I passed there host name, because nothing else were accepted.

Can anybody help me?

Answer 1

The issue was with SMTP configuration. When you open IIS6 configuration of SMTP server, then open server propertis and go to the Access tab, you can see there tow buttons.

1)connection and 2)relay

Just put there your host name and problem is solved. :)
