How to Configure SMTP Server IIs
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) is a small application that is run on a web-hosting server to relay email to its intended recipient. Internet Information Service (IIS) hosts SMTP. It needs to be installed and configured for it to work properly, but the process only takes a few steps in the IIS application console.
