I hope somebody can help us. I think this is probably a really silly thing, but I can't find any documentation on the website about it.

Basically all we're interested in is using SmarterMail for its SMTP server (to add DKIM and domain keys to our outgoing emails). We've installed SM ok and we can send message, yay. Now, how to we get SM to send the generated emails FROM our website? We're currently using the IIS Virtual Server, but unfortunately, the person who set it up is no longer with us.

I can't seem to find any documentation regarding this, either :(

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Generally you need a script to do that work. Often this is done with CDONTS or a COM object like ASPEmail or JMail, etc.

Your code will initialize the object, set properties so that it knows where / how to reach your mail server and how to authenticate a user so that the mail can be sent, then it will create the connection and send the message.

You also have a choice about authentications. For example your web site might already have a script setup to send the mail, but not be setup for authentication. You can either modify the scrpt or add the web server's IP to the auth bypass in SM.

 Thanks guys. I wish there was a step-by-step guide for this... I don't suppose you would have any idea where we could find our existing script? :/

 Just thought: Does it make a difference if we're using C#?
