Joy, Windows 7 (any addition) **does NOT** include an SMTP server. The SMTP Mail Server icon in IIS Administrator is to point ASP.NET apps to a SMTP server elsewhere on your network (or a third-party SMTP server running on localhost). This is equivalent to setting the mail server settings in ColdFusion Administrator.
So, like Dave Watts suggests, you might try Apache James. -Carl V. On 8/13/2013 7:36 AM, Joy Paulose wrote: > Does windows 7 include SMTP server?
