the Results window, click Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0 Manager.

2. Expand the computer name. Right-click [SMTP Virtual Server #1] and click Properties.

3. In the Access tab, click the Relay button.

4. Click Add. For Single Computer, enter 127.0.0.1 and click OK.

By adding 127.0.0.1, we are allowing the local server to send messages from this SMTP
Server. If you want additional computers to send messages from this SMTP server, enter
their IP addresses.

5. In the Delivery tab, click Outbound Security. Choose from the following:

Anonymous access: An account name or password is not required. This option disables
authentication for the SMTP Server.
 Basic authentication: The account name and password of the server that you are
connecting to are sent as clear text. This account you enter transmits the e-mails. Basic
Authentication can be selected when sending e-mail to a personal account or an
Exchange account. Because the credentials are passed in clear text, it is recommended to
enable TLS encryption.

Integrated Windows Authentication: The Windows domain account name and

password are used to authenticate. The account you enter transmits the e-mails.

TLS encryption: Similar to SSL, TLS secures the connection. Requires a valid SSL server
certificate installed on this server.

Tip

To test core SMTP functionality with a personal e-mail account, including an Exchange account, sele
authentication is selected, SMTP uses the AUTH command. Some e-mail providers may fail because
AUTH command fails, an error may be logged in the Windows event logs on the SMTP Server.

6. In the Delivery tab, click Outbound connections. By default, the TCP Port is 25. A
different port can be entered if it is open within your firewall. Click OK.

local server is listed. Depending on the internet provider, theSmart Host property can
remain empty. You may need to contact the internet provider to confirm if a Smart Host
is required. Otherwise, you may be able to enter smtp.EMailProvider.com.

Note

A Smart Host, also known as a relay host, is a dedicated server used by an Exchange Server to route
the Smart Hostreceives the messages, the Smart Host forwards the messages to a remote domain. T
improve performance of an Exchange Server. The Exchange Server only transmits to the smart host;
remote domain until a connection is made.

8. Click OK to close all windows.

 9. Restart the SMTP Server: Right-click [SMTP Virtual Server #1], click Stop, and then
