Using multiple smtp servers for different locations on Outlook 2000

[Joe W]

I have a number of employees that use laptops and need
different outgoing smtp servers. Usually one for home and
one for the office. Is there a way to have both and choose
between the two instead of retyping the server info every
morning and night when they take the computer home.

Why not have them always use a single SMTP server, presuming it supports
authenticated relay? That way, they never have to change anything, if they
set up Outlook to authenticate to that SMTP server.

Hi,

I think you can manage that with Outlook Profiles.

Goto Control Panel "Mail"
and create different profiles, maybe this should help you

either copy a profile and change the SMTP in the copy or use a hosts file to
swap - set the mail server as mail and change the hosts using a batch.
