Re: Has anyone managed to send email using the smtp localhost?

I am wondering what I need to put in the smarthost and if the computer it
points to needs to be configured. My set up is that I have my localhost at
192.168.1.163 on my lan my mail server at my ISP is at mail.mycompany.com.
My domain of my local lan is named mycompany.com and I'm behind a firewal at
192.168.1.1. I saw some docs about smarthost but not really any explanation
on how to use it except to say you put in a DNS name or an ip address. Tried
it, didn't work.

Hello Bob,

I've got code doing that that should work and I've tested doing that with
a
program called smtp diagnostics. In both cases if I use my outside e-mail
provider account with login username and password it works OK. But if I
try
to send it via localhost my code excutes OK but the message gets stuck in
the queue folder and just stays there.

I go into the same desaster while sending with localhost, but we also
have a Win2k3 Server via ISP, which is hosting a site and this works.

Most providers do not accept any message if they can't resolve the
sending servers IP, some also request the whole domain and so on.. to
get rid of spam-mails. One of my personal mailaccount is able to
accept even via localhost (showing that all is right) , i think you
can't solve this other than using a smart.host in the config of your
local smtp.
