Configuring SMTP E-mail in IIS 7

Applies To: Windows 7, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Vista

In order to send e-mail from an ASP.NET application using the System.Net.Mail API, you must configure SMTP e-mail. Configuring e-mail services tells the System.Net.Mail API to which SMTP server the e-mail generated by your application should be delivered. You can also configure your application to deliver e-mail to a file location on disk where it can be retrieved for delivery later.
