Configuring Clients

Any programs that you want to send mail to smtp4dev need to be configured so that they send mail via SMTP to the host/address and port number where smtp4dev is running.

Look for the following options in your program/platform

Option	Value
SMTP hostname	localhost if client is on same machine as smtp4dev or the DNS name of the machine where smtp4dev is running e.g. mymachine.mydomain.
SMTP port number	25
SSL/TLS, Secure connection, Encryption	Off or Not required etc
Username/Password	<Empty>. Authentication is not required, but will be accepted if your client insists on their configuration

This is valid for the default configuration for smtp4dev. See configuration information for information on how to check and change this including how to enable SSL/TLS.
