Er, send messages to several outside domains and your local domain?

You should also verify your domain's DNS setup at dnsreport.com and
look up your mailserver's IP at dnsstuff.com. Passing all of the
relevant checks -- too many to regurgitate here -- will help ensure
round-trip reliability.

Regardless of whether this server will be accepting mail for your
domain, periodic visits to the two above sites are advised.

Hi;

I'm using it for sending only - I have Exchange for company email.

My question was a little more basic - is there a simple program to
send mail from my IIS server using it? I am configuring the server so
it does not allow SMTP in so I need a program on the web server (ie
can't use Outlook).

I guess I can telnet and pretend to be a mail client - yuck.

thanks - dave

If you're using it for sending using CDOSYS or equivalent, then
there's your way of testing! You mst have some component to send your
mail in production, so just use that for testing as well.

Google for blat.exe.

Don't think it's that yucky. It's usually the quickest way to test.
