Does the system.web.mail class use the same smtp service that is installed 
on the .net box?

Is there a way to set it to a different server?   i.e.  SmtpMail.SmtpServer
 =3D "mail.domain.com"

Does the system.web.mail class use the same smtp service that is installed
on the .net box?

Is there a way to set it to a different server?   i.e.  SmtpMail.SmtpServer
= "mail.domain.com"

Yes, exactly that.

It defaults to an SMTP server at the localhost, but you can override it 
like this:

         SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "smtp.MyDomain.com"
         SmtpMail.Send(objMailMessage)

Mitch,

System.Web.Mail does use the same SMTP Service that is installed within IIS 
if that is the service that you are using for outbound EMail.  To my 
knowledge (and I have only been using Microsoft's SMTP within IIS) you won't 
be able to specify (or I haven't done enough searching for it) where you 
want your mail to relay to within .NET.  Usually (at least for the clients 
that I have done this for) they have an Exchange 5.5/2000 Server set-up.  In 
mostly all of these cases they need the mail to be forwarded from the IIS 
SMTP Server to the Exchange 2000 for relay.  So to .NET it's transparent in 
where the actual setting are done on the local SMTP Server itself.  If you 
are using the SMTP Server within IIS all you need to do to accomplish this 
is:

1) Open up the properties dialog for the IIS SMTP Server
2) Click on the Delivery tab
3) Click on the Advanced button
4) Within the Masquerade domain text box type in your domain name so that it 
appears within the "from" field within the STMP Header Message itself (this 
will protect you from email servers that block all non-FQDN mail ie. 
*spammers*)
5) Within the Smart host text box type in your Exchanges Email Servers FQDN 
or IP address (this tells the SMTP Server to forward all outbound messages 
to this address for relay)
7) Apply the settings, restart the SMTP Service (don't know if restarting 
actually needs to be done - but I do it anyway just in case)

FYI, make sure the Exchange Server that is accepting the relay has the 
setting to let that IIS SMTP machine relay against it or your mail will be 
blocked due to that Exchange Servers configuration thinking that it is 
trying to be used as an open relay in which it should deny it.

hth,
Al

Ah, or use Albert's suggestion... ;-)

His solution would work as well (as a matter of fact, that's how we 
"rerouted" messages before the .NET era).

(Dis)advantage (depending how you look at it) is that it now sends most 
messages through this smart host without the ability to decide which host 
to use for what message. Like I said, this can be a good thing as well if 
that's what you're after.

Cheers,

Imar
