With SMTP service on windows 2000, if you send a RCPT TO: command that is
missing the domain name, for instance :
RCPT TO:<someone>
A default domain is appended to the recipient. It becomes :
someone@defaultdomain
My question is how this default domain is configured trhough the admin
interface of the service ?
Using MetaEdit 2.2, I've found the folowing
property:'LM/SmtpSvc/DefaultDomain' . Changing it to a value of my choice
effectively modify the behavior of the service when it receives a RCPT TO:
without a domain.
Is it safe to change this value programmatically ? Would it be overwritten
using the admin interface ?
My goal here is to add a domain that is not the default domain that is
created by default.

TIA.
