Enable the SMTP Service

The SMTP Service allows the local machine to deliver SMTP emails. Typically, the front-end Web server points to an existing, remote SMTP server, but if required you can enable the SMTP service locally.

  1. On the host machine for the front-end Web server, ensure that you are logged on with local administrator rights.
  2. Open the Windows Components Wizard. This is available from the Add or Remove Programs applet.
  3. Select Internet Information Services (IIS) and click Details to display the IIS subcomponents.
  4. Select the SMTP Service subcomponent and click OK to return to the Windows Components Wizard. This service supports the transfer of emails.
