You're in the
iis smtp nntp
group:New to Smarthost
iis smtp nntp:
finging that b/c my IP is dynamic, that some servers won't accept the emails. So is there a good in depth tutorial out there to tell me how to set it up to route emails through my ISP's email server from my SMTP server? I assume it's something to do with smart host. the confusing part to me is that my ISP requires me to login to the SMTP server and the smarthost fields don't seem to have a way to add the login and password. Please advise. Andrea

I'm going to try it! That's what I was looking for in the Exchange SMTP docs. Haven't tried it with XP, or any workstation, but it works with Exchange on W2K Server. Try it and let us know.

There are utilities that handle the logins, and many third party SMTP servers can do this. You can do this with Exchange, using the SMTP outbound security, and I think with Server 2003 (don't have a system with SMTP handy to check and the docs aren't coming up for me to check...). Keep in mind that some ISP's still may throttle email, and even shut you off if you connect with more than a certain number of messages in a short period. Jeff [quoted text, click to view] >Andrea

I doubt that my ISP (Comcast) would do anything to suit just little old
me... And since I telecommute I don't have access to the smtp server at home office. In order to use it, I would have to set it up at the office, and that leaves other complications... VPN to the database... can't access VPN when on pcAnywhere... So, is there other SMTP software that I can use that will smarthost with login and password?

I just found this!
http://www.christopherlewis.com/ATT_SMTP_Config.htm It looks like it will work for SMTP on XP as well... I'm going to try it!

So is there a good in depth tutorial out there to tell me how to >set it up to route emails through my ISP's email server from my SMTP server? Here it is: 1) Set the smart host to your ISP's mail address. If it's an IP instead of a FQDN, put the IP in brackets. 2) Have your ISP open their mail server to accept relay from you.

Yup. That's a problem. :) Actually, your issue is with your ISP, since they don't allow a relay from your system. And they likely won't, either. You can use an SMTP client to send the emails of course, not using your own SMTP.
