Hi,
I was unable to send mails through the SMTP server of my ISP since i was
connected to another ISP. This lead me to install IIS and start the SMTP
service for localhost. The service is running fine but when i send a mail, it
is lost, also i do not get an undelivered notification. What should i do to
use the smtp service of the localhost??
 
Why not use the proxy server setting in Outlook Express so
your ISP will be seen as a proxy on the other ISP?

Seems like a simpler solution.

Hello,

Your ISP might just need you to log on before using their SMTP server.

You have to use the SMTP server of the ISP that you are using to connect to
the Internet, i.e., edit the SMTP server setting on the email accounts to be
that of your new ISP. N.B. Don't edit the POP server settings.

P.S. I don't know what you think you would achieve by running an SMTP server
on your machine.
 
Open the Tools/Accounts menu, select the proper email
account, on the server tab enter the proper server names,
DNS will find the IP. On the outgoing mail server section
at the bottom, click settings and enter the username and
password for the proxy server you are using.

Click to expand...

The SMTP service included in IIS is not meant to be used as any type
of mail server. It's basic inclusion in IIS is as a service for web
pages that use Front Page Server Extensions that have mail enabled on
them.
