Script eMail Server

twoolums · March 19, 2006, 7:22pm

I have a domain setup that doesn’t use your mail servers for email but their website is hosted on your server (win14). What should I use as the email server for scripts that need that option so the scripts work and send email correctly?

Thanks

localhost should work I think.

Thought those didn’t have rDNS so I was think mail.domain.com but didn’t know for sure if you had to authenticate first.

DUnno, but I use localhost to send emails using aspEmail

I’m just using CDO, and I tried using the mail.servicedomain.com but looks like you need to authenticate first. REally don’t want to create a dummy email account just to send out using the correct email server. Hopefully Jodo can recomend the correct process.

For servers needing rDNS(like AOL, optonline) you need to use mail.domain.com with smtp-authentication for now.
