Configure the SMTPServer Registry Value

If the SMTP service is not being used on the local server, you must edit the registry on the front-end Web server to point to a remote SMTP server. To do this, locate the Web registry key. Within this registry key, edit the following value:

SMTPServer

Type: REG_SZ

Data: This defaults to localhost. If the SMTP service is not being used on the local server, set this value to a remote SMTP server, that is, the DNS name of the server hosting the SMTP service. For example, you can set this value to your Exchange server (if it is configured to relay SMTP messages).

Note: The SMTP server must be configured for pass‑through authentication.
