Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)

Public Shared Property SmtpServer As String

Visual Basic (Usage)

Dim value As String

value = SmtpMail.SmtpServer

SmtpMail.SmtpServer = value

public static string SmtpServer { get; set; }

Visual C++

static property String^ SmtpServer {
    String^ get ();
    void set (String^ value);
}

JScript

public static function set SmtpServer (value : String)

Property Value

Type: System..::.String
The name of the e-mail relay server. If SmtpServer is not set, the name of the local SMTP server is used.

Remarks

If your local SMTP server (included with Windows 2000 and Windows Server 2003) is behind a firewall that blocks any direct SMTP traffic (through port 25), you will need to find out if there is a smart host available on your network that is allowed to relay SMTP messages to the Internet.

A smart host is an SMTP server with the permissions to relay outgoing e-mail messages directly to the Internet from internal SMTP servers. A smart host should be able to simultaneously connect to both the internal network and the Internet in order to work as the e-mail gateway.

Examples

Visual Basic

' This example assigns the name of the mail relay server on the 
' local network to the SmtpServer property.

//This example assigns the name of the mail relay server on the 
//local network to the SmtpServer property.
