How to Configure SMTPs
Configuring Microsoft SMTP service is one of the steps to enabling incoming email. The SMTP protocol routes email to the next server so that email packets reach the intended recipients. It also hosts relay services, so email packages are "bounced" off the local SMTP to the next one until they reach their destination. SMTP is configured using the Internet Information Service (IIS) console.
