It is a domain name, so you should configure the DNS server. I would recommend you to read a little bit about DNS, how it works, and how to configure it. You can find more information on DNS here: http://www.iisanswers.com/dns_for_iis.htm Other documentation about DNS exists as well, for example in the Windows Server documentation. If your ISP, or someone else administrate the DNS server, tell them what you want to do, and they will do it for you. -- Regards, Kristofer Gafvert http://www.ilopia.com [quoted text, click to view] "Willie" <@> wrote in message news:eCTAZpi1EHA.2196@TK2MSFTNGP14.phx.gbl... > just don't understand. > for "Outlook Express" user need to enter "Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)" to > "smtp.domain.com" right? > > how to configure my own SMTP Server to this "smtp.domain.com"? > > configure my DNS? or SMTP? > > understand my questions? > >

Depending on where you added it, it may take some time to show up. If it's your own DNS server, then it should start working for you right away. Otherwise the time depends on the TTL (time to live) for the record or zone file. DNS servers cache the records for the TTL so they won't be checking for changes until that time expires.

If you want to refer to your SMTP server by name, you have to configure DNS for that name. You also need to configure SMTP for correctly sending mail for your domain, without relaying mail from any other domains. Plus you need to configure your firewall for the proper ports.

First, ping smpt.domain.com to see if you get the proper IP resolved. If so, then you may have a configuration error on SMTP. We don't have enough details to diagnose that, we don't even know what operating system you're on.
