I need my apps to send email, so I install the SMTP Feature.
Where do I go to associate a friendly binding like mailsmtp.blah.com ?
I assume that’s an MX record with godaddy for DNS, but where you you affiliate in on local server side?
Funny, i was looking at the same thing this AM. I thougt I would have to set up bindings like my IIS sites. But it appears I don’t have to. SMTP will listen on 25.
Anyway that tutorial isn’t helping because I’m following his telnet test and when I get to the RCPT TO: part , I get “unable to relay” for any address I enter.
Help?
OK, I got the relay issue taken care of, that was permissions. But I can’t send mail. It’s stuck in the queue.
I asked for a reverse DNS and I have an A record setup. If I am only using this for outbound, do I need an MX record? I read somewhere that some mail services will reject the connection if they can’t resolve an MX record.
