Where can I find the name
of my SMTP mail server?

department. If your PCs can send emails, you can check it out by: Startup Outlook
Express
Select: >Tools >Accounts >Mail

Some examples of Outgoing Mail SMTP

Sending mails
through your ISPs mail server, the "Outgoing Mail SMTP" means that your ISPs
have allocated a storage
area specifically for your (email domain) mails
to be stored there and then relayed out via their mail server to the
recipient. Therefore, they must give you some kind of "ID", password and SMTP
mail server for you to access it.
If you are using your own PCs as a mail server,
then you don't need to have your ISPs SMTP mail server, because you will be
sending mails to your mail server program to be relayed out directly to the
recipient mailbox and bypass your ISP mail server. See:
