SMTPMail

[transparent]

Am I correct in thinking that the SMPTMail object can only dend mail from a specific email address under the following circumstances:

1) The SMTP server on the server is an open relay
2) The SMPT server is responsible for the specific domain?

A server does not have to be an open relay and should of course not be configured as one. You can however add your server's IP address to the list of approved relay clients.

The domain does not matter either. In your code you can specify whatever sender address you like.

I hope you find this post helpful.

Regards,

Mark

My understanding is that if you configure an email server for open relay, any spammer in the world can use your system to send their email.

This is a great way to be unable to send your own email, as you will find your domain blocked out by many ISPs.
