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.

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.
