Change the port for SMTP. :) How you do this depends on the version, but it's normally under connection properties, on the General tab. Outgoing can use just about any port but nothing will send to you unless you're answering on port 25 in most cases.
Hello, I've paid for a Bellsouth DSL account with a static IP address. They are currently blocking port 25 to cut back on spamming. I have also purchased email addresses from Godaddy.com. I'm using Thunderbird as my email client and can easily connect using port 3535. How can I configure IIS to do the same with SMTP? I'm hosting several small, personal websites for friends and would like to be able to send mail from my server (for password recovery, etc.). Any ideas? Thanks,
Doh! I can't believe I didn't see that. How do I tell it the name of the server that it should send the mail to? Will PS. Thanks for helping a clueless n00b!

You mean to send mail to a specific system? SMTP gets that with the TO address and a DNS lookup for the MX record for the domain. Unless you want to send all your mail through your GoDaddy account, which may not be possible with GoDaddy. Ask them if it is and how to configure it. Jeff [quoted text, click to view] > >Will > >PS.

Have you tried configuring the ougoing port on SMTP?

Right. I want it to simply relay everything that it gets to port 3535 on Godaddy's server. They said that they can't help me with it. I'm assuming that it can be done as long as I can configure IIS to relay messages to the appropriate port on the appropriate server.

Yeah, I tried that, but it still needs to know what server to send the mail to. I'm thinking that it might have something to do with the advanced delivery settings, but the documentation is a bit unclear. Do I need to set the masquerade domain or the fully qualified domain name, or what? Or do I use the Smart Host? If I'm using Smart Host, do I set that at the SMTP server level, or at the level of the individual domain(s) under the SMTP server? Yikes, this is complicated.

So are you sending mail out through GoDaddy or receiving it? Do you want to accept the mail from GoDaddy and send it on to somewhere else? Does your server send email at all right now? What version of operating system?

Actually, I only want the server to be able to send email through Godaddy. I'll retrieve email using my email client directly through Godaddy's server. I'm currently running Windows 2000 Server with all the latest patches (except for the ones released this Tuesday). At the moment, the server does not send email at all (because of the port blocking by Bellsouth). Both the SMTP and the web server are on the same box. All I really need to be able to do is redirect email sent from localhost to the SMTP service to the Godaddy account on a different port.

You shouldn't need to send mail through GoDaddy, you should be able to send direct. Otherwise, GoDaddy is your smarthost. Enter GoDaddy's SMTP server as the smarthost in your SMTP. Make sure GoDaddy allows you to relay through their servers. You may need to configure your SMTP to authenticate to theirs to do this as well.
