Guest Jack Posted December 12, 2007 Posted December 12, 2007 ok call me stupid, but I need some pointers ; just installed email services (SMPT) and setup a remote domain..how the heck does one go about testing ability to send a simple outbound mail and what are the execution steps ? Have no idea where to start. I am running windows server 2003 enterprise under Computer Management, IIS, you can see that SMTP was installed - it says "default virtual SMTP Server and underneath it says "domains" and also "Current sessions". Thats all thats happened. The only think I want to do is be able to send outbound emails now, and havent a clue how to enable this. Looking for a step by step list if possible. Also, I tried this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/323350 and get this error: 220 springserver1 Microsoft ESMTP MAIL Service, Version: 6.0.3790.1830 ready at Mon, 10 Dec 2007 22:09:24 -0800 helo me 250 springserver1 Hello [192.168.1.10] mail from:t...@mytestserver1.com 250 2.1.0 t...@mytestserverserver1.com....Sender OK rcpt to:jack_posem...@yahoo.com 550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for jack_posem...@yahoo.com Thank you, Jack

"The easiest way to send an e-mail message without a client is to drop a properly formatted text file into the Pickup directory on the server. RFC 822 defines the formatting standards for ARPA Internet text messages. Following the guidelines in RFC 822 you can easily create text files, that when copied into the Pickup directory, will be delivered to the specified mailbox. When you install the SMTP service on a Windows 2000 or 2003 server a directory called Pickup is created under C:\Inetpub\Mailroot. Let's look at an example.

Barney Saving that text to a file and copying it to the Pickup folder would send that e-mail message to Fred "
