[AccessD] SMTP Server

Hi Max

It has been excluded from the desktop OS which Vista is.
Look here for some alternatives:

Hi Gustav, Yep it's me again.  Having got that working ok on XP, how do I
find the same setting locations in Vista?  I have installed the IIS but, of
course, everything is different.  I need to set up the local host and allow
the smtp server to recognise it?
Any thoughts?
Max

Hi Max

You may have to read through the docs as you have to be careful with SMTP
servers to avoid relaying and spam.
The help file is obtuse but precise, and lots of guides and stuff on this
service exist on the net.

However, I guess you need to check the settings for authentication to
require authentication from your client.
Then, the settings under the SMTP Server Properties, tab Access, button
Relay:

In window Relay Restrictions
Checkbox: Allow all computers which successfully authenticate to relay,
regardless of the list above.
You may need to mark this.

Note: There is no "right" way to configure an SMTP server. As with so much
else, it depends ...
The default configuration is, however and for a reason, quite restricted.
